curb-dazzle A cow on a road

It was just after dawn

when people are opening their curtains to let the light in .

when the dairy cow accidentally walked onto the road.

The strange black pavement dazzled him

so much that he was curious to step off of the curb onto the street.

A man on a cycle drove by with a damning look,but he didn't stop.

Then a cute girl with a backpack filled with teaching curriculum
然后一个漂亮的女孩背 着装满课本的书包
came around the curve.
从拐弯处走来,
Now customarily she never stopped for anyone,
按照惯例,她不会为任 何人停下脚步,
and she was actually quite cynical about all of this "help your neighbor"stuff

But when she saw the cow on the road she decided to cure him of his confusion

and direct him back onto his field.

Her touch on the cow's side,however,
但她刚碰到奶牛的一侧
felt like a dart to the cow and he jumped away quickly.
奶牛就好像被飞镖刺中 一样迅速闪开.
His rear foot slipped on a datum mark
它的后腿在基准点上 打滑
and he tipped over into the damp grass.
并跌倒在潮湿的草地上
An old piece of cutlery was lying on the ground where he fell

and he started to bleed.

The girl did the best she could to help the cow up,

but she fell to the ground herself as well.

I will add the data about this experience
我会把这次经验的材料 加起来,
and remember to never help a cow walking on a road again.

Even the cynic,the girl stood up, abandoned the cow, and walked away.

The cow,meanwhile, stood up by himself, noticed that he had stopped bleeding,
与此同时,奶牛自己站 了起来,它发现自己已 经不再流血,
and quietly went back to his field.
便静静地回到了自己的 田里.
He would remember to avoid strange black pavement in the future!
