小兔把花苗移进了新花坛，盼着夏天开出一片粉红色的小花。

Rabbit moved young plants into a new garden bed, hoping for a summer full of pink flowers.

小兔把花苗移进了新花坛，盼着夏天开出一片粉红色的小花。

Rabbit moved young plants into a new garden bed, hoping for a summer full of pink flowers.

第二天下午，太阳火辣辣的。花苗低着头，叶子软软地垂下来。

The next afternoon was very hot. The seedlings bowed their heads, their soft leaves drooping.

小兔摸摸泥土：“干了，得给它们浇水！”

Rabbit touched the soil. “It’s dry. They need water!”

可花园里的水缸见了底，水龙头也因为修管子暂时停水。

But the garden water jar was empty, and the tap was off while the village pipes were being repaired.

“山上的泉水最清！”小兔提起水壶，“我去打一壶回来。”

“The spring in the hills has the clearest water!” Rabbit lifted the watering can. “I’ll fetch some.”

小松鼠拦在门边：“那里很远呀，走过去再回来，要好久呢。”

Squirrel paused at the gate. “That’s a long way. It will take ages to go there and back.”

小兔看看山，又看看垂着头的花苗，脚步慢了下来。

Rabbit looked at the hills, then at the drooping plants, and slowed to a stop.

“先找附近能用的水吧。”小松鼠说，“还可以想办法遮遮太阳。”

“Let’s look for water nearby first,” said Squirrel. “And find some shade for them.”

他们请山羊阿姨帮忙。阿姨先看了看花苗，又摸了摸土。

They asked Goat for help. She checked the seedlings and gently felt the soil.

“先搭个遮阳棚，让它们少晒一会儿。”阿姨从屋里取来浅色布。

“Let’s give them shade first.” Goat brought a pale cloth from her house.

木杆插稳了，布棚撑起来了。棚顶高高的，四周都能透风。

The stakes stood firmly, and the cloth went up. It was high enough for air to flow beneath it.

小兔想起厨房里还有一小壶干净的存水，赶紧和妈妈说了花园的事。

Rabbit remembered a small jug of clean stored water in the kitchen and told Mother about the garden.

妈妈留好家里要喝的水，把能分出来的那一点倒进小水壶。

Mother set aside the water the family needed to drink and poured a little extra into the watering can.

山羊阿姨扶着壶嘴，小兔慢慢浇，让水落在根边的泥土上。

Goat guided the spout as Rabbit watered slowly, letting the water soak into the soil around the roots.

水不多，他们先照顾最缺水的几株，再把剩下的分给其他花苗。

There was not much water. They tended the driest plants first, then shared the rest among the others.

“还没有抬头呢。”小兔蹲着等。阿姨说：“先让它们缓一缓。”

“They’re still drooping,” said Rabbit, waiting beside them. “Give them time to recover,” said Goat.

傍晚凉快了，有几片叶子慢慢挺起来。小兔终于松了一口气。

As the evening cooled, a few leaves began to lift. Rabbit finally let out a relieved breath.

“远水救不了近火。”阿姨说，“今天先用上了来得及的办法。”

“Distant water cannot put out a nearby fire,” said Goat. “Today we found help that could arrive in time.”

水管修好后，小兔请妈妈准备了带盖的储水桶，还画了一张浇水提醒图。

When the pipes were fixed, Rabbit and Mother set up a covered water barrel and made a watering reminder picture.

过了些日子，小花终于开了。花坛旁的小水壶，已经装好了明早要用的水。

Some days later, the flowers finally bloomed. Beside the bed, the little can was ready for the next morning.

遇到急事，先寻找安全、及时、能解决眼前问题的办法，再为以后做好准备。

Choose help that can arrive in time, then prepare for the future.
