贝琪有办法
Dorothy Canfield Fisher
作者：桃乐茜·甘菲德·费希尔
Mrs. Fisher is one of our best story-tellers today. She writes stories for grown-up people and for boys and girls, too. Here is one of her stories. It is about a little girl who, like Paul Seabury, just had to find a way to do something.
费雪太太是如今最会讲故事的人之一。她为成年人写故事，也为男孩和女孩写故事。这是她的一个故事。故事讲述的是一个小女孩，像保罗·西布里一样，不得不想办法做点什么。
Betsy's birthday
贝琪的生日
Betsy was to celebrate her tenth birthday by going to Woodford to the County Fair. Aunt and Uncle Putney, with whom she lived, weren’t going to the Fair that year. But the Wendells, on the next farm, said they could make room for the two little girls; for of course Betsy’s little friend, Molly, was going along.
贝琪要去伍德福德参加县博览会，庆祝她的十岁生日。那一年，和她住在一起的帕特尼姨妈和姨父都不去赶集。但是隔壁农场的温德尔一家说，他们可以给两个小女孩腾出地方来；因为贝特西的小朋友莫莉当然也去了。
When they arrived at the Fair, the two little girls were allowed to wander about as they pleased until noon, and they thoroughly enjoyed the many sights and sounds and smells of their first County Fair. At noon they met the Wendells in front of Industrial Hall for a picnic lunch. As they ate, the children talked happily of the merrygo- round, the balloon-seller, and the popcorn stands. The Wendells had met some cousins who wished to ride home with them.
当她们到达集市时，两个小女孩得到允许随意逛到中午，她们尽情地欣赏着第一次乡村集市上的许多景色、声音和气味。中午，他们在工业大厅前会见了温德尔一家，一起去野餐。吃的时候，孩子们高兴地谈论着游乐项目、卖气球的人和爆米花摊。温德尔夫妇遇到了几个表亲，他们想和他们一起骑车回家。
