1:55 " Baa, baa," cried the baby happily “咩，咩。”小宝宝开心地叫着。
1:59 " Oh, Lamb. Nothing makes you sad, does it?" Panther laughed “哦，小羊羔，什么事都不会让你伤心，对吧？” 潘瑟笑着说。
2:05 Hilary, the baby, got his nickname because the first word he said was " baa," just like a little lamb 小宝宝希拉里之所以有这个绰号，是因为他说的第一个词是“咩”，就像一只小羊羔。

2:48 After a while, they found themselves in a thicket of trees 过了一会儿，他们来到了一片茂密的树林中。
2:54 " It's awfully dark in here," Panther said in a worried voice “这里太暗了，”潘瑟担心地说。
2:59 " Maybe we should go back," Jane added “也许我们该回去了，”简补充道。
3:03 " Hey! Look at this!" Cy called out excitedly “嘿！快看这个！”赛兴奋地喊道。
3:08 Cy had found an old, dried-up well 赛发现了一口干涸的老井。
3:13 " Can you see anything?" “能看到什么吗？”
3:15 asked Jane, as they all peered down the well 简问道，他们全都向下窥视着那口井。
3:19 " Nope! But there's a funny smell," replied Cy “没有！但有股怪味。”赛答道。
3:23 " Is there any water?" Bobby asked “里面有水吗？”鲍比问。
3:27 The children stared deeper into the well, their eyes getting wider 孩子们向井的更深处望去，眼睛睁得越来越大。
3:32 " I wonder if this is a wishing well," said Jane “我在想，这是不是一口许愿井。”简说。
3:37 " Wait! Look here," said Panther “等等！看这儿。”黑豹说。
3:41 Next to the well, Panther had found an old wooden bucket attached to some rope 在井边，黑豹发现了一个旧木桶，上面系着绳子。
3:47 " Let's lower this bucket and see what's down there," she said “咱们把这个桶放下去，看看底下有什么。”她说。
3:52 " What's she doing?" Bobby said, pointing to Jane “她在做什么？”鲍比指着简说。
3:56 Jane's eyes were closed, and she was holding onto a coin 简闭着眼睛，手里攥着一枚硬币。
4:01 " I'm making a wish," she replied “我在许愿。”她答道。
4:05 She turned around and threw the coin over her shoulder and into the well 她转过身，把硬币从肩头向后扔进了井里。
4:10 Clink, clink, clonk 叮当，叮当，咚咚。
4:13 " Ouch!" a voice cried from the well “哎哟！”井里传来一声叫喊。
4:17 " Did you hear that?" whispered Bobby “你听到了吗？”鲍比轻声说。
4:21 " Hello, down there!" Cy shouted “喂，下面有人吗！”赛大声喊道。
4:25 " Hello, down there!" “喂，下面有人吗！”
4:28 his voice echoed inside the well. Then silence 他的声音在井里回荡。然后一片寂静。
4:33 " I'm sure I heard something," said Bobby “我肯定听到了什么声音。”鲍比说。
4:37 " Do you think it's an animal?" Jane asked worriedly “你觉得会是动物吗？”简担心地问。
4:42 " There's only one way to find out," Cy said excitedly “只有一个办法能弄清楚。”赛兴奋地说。
4:46 He lowered the bucket down the well 他把桶放到了井里。
4:50 " Can you feel anything?" Panther asked “你能感觉到什么吗？”黑豹问。
4:53 " Hurry up, will you?" Bobby said impatiently “快点，行不行？”鲍比不耐烦地说。
4:58 Cy pulled the bucket back up 赛把桶又拉了上来。
5:00 It was full of mud, soda cans, an old shoe, and some rocks 桶里装满了泥巴、汽水罐、一只旧鞋，还有一些石头。
5:06 Cy lowered the bucket again several times 赛又把桶放下去好几次。
