见到过一群鸭子和一只母鸡在一起的情形吗？真是太有趣了！ ——听一听杰米玛·帕德尔鸭的故事吧！杰米玛·帕德尔鸭气坏了， 为什么呢？原来，农夫的太太不许她孵化自己的蛋。 Wthat a funny sight it is to see a brood of ducklings with ahen! -- Listen to the story of Jemima Puddle-duck, who was annoyed because the farmer's wife would not let her hatch her own eggs. P15 可是她的弟媳——利蓓卡·帕德尔鸭太太就不同了，她就愿意让别人来替 自己孵蛋。她说：“我才没有耐心在那里抱窝呢，一待就是28天。杰米玛， 你当然也不会有这份耐心喽！你会让蛋受凉的，对吧？” 杰米玛·帕德尔鸭嘎嘎地争辩着：“我真想自己孵蛋，我会亲自把他们 全孵出来的！” Her sister-in-law, Mrs. Rebeccah Puddle-duck, was perfectly willing to leave the hatching to some one else --"I have not the patience to sit on a nest for twenty-eight days; and no more have you, Jemima. You would let them go cold; you know you would!" "I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch them all by myself," quacked Jemima Puddle-duck. P16
