公主和癞蛤蟆

几年前，我们家收养了一只1岁大的西伯利亚产的爱斯基摩犬，我们给它取名为玛莎公主。洙所有的西伯利亚犬一样，玛莎喜欢待在户外。每夜例行散步后，它就会全身伸展地睡在房前院子里冰冷的天台上。

A few years ago, our family adopted a 1-year-old Siberian huskies production, we gave it the name Martha princess. Like all Siberian dogs like Martha likes being outdoors, the more the more I like it cold. It is like the coldest winter days, the body curled up into a ball, lying on the snow, swept tail kept him uniquely sensitive areas - the nose. It is often stood up, shook his body, turn a few laps, and then lay back down. Motionless watching its territory. In the hot summer, it's in the house to find one of the most cool side corner, where nap. It stroll nightly routine, it will stretch the body to sleep in the room forecourt yard icy roof.

一个夏天的晚上，我们正坐在前院的天井里享受习习的微风，只见一只小小的癞蛤蟆从草丛里跳出来，然后顺着人行道跳到离玛莎仅有几英寸的地方。突然，玛莎站起来，走向那只癞蛤蟆，用嘴衔起它，然后回到它休息的地方重新躺下来。我们惊奇地看着它把头转向人行道，张开嘴让那只癞哈蟆跳出来。癞蛤蟆就坐在玛莎面前，它们两个似乎对视了很久，然后癞蛤蟆跳下人行道，消失在草丛里。

One summer night, we are sitting in the front yard patio enjoying the breeze blowing gently, I saw a little toad jumped out from the bushes. Then jump down the sidewalk only a few inches away from the place where Martha. Suddenly, Martha stood up to the bird toad mouth title from it, and then return to its resting place to lie down again. We are surprised to see it turned to the sidewalk, open your mouth make that toad jump out. Martha toad sitting in front of both of them seem to regard a long time, and then a toad jumped the sidewalk and disappeared into the bushes.

同样的事情，发生在许多个仲夏之夜，或许玛莎很喜欢这些癞蛤蟆？但我们有些担心，因为一些癞蛤蟆可能是有毒的。不过，玛莎好像没有被伤害，而它也从不伤害这些癞蛤蟆，所以我们也就没有干预。这之后，如果玛莎在散步时看见癞蛤蟆在人行道上，就会跑过去，用鼻子轻推着那个小东西，直到它安全地跳下人行道回到草丛中，才放心地走开。
In the summer, another night, we noticed the same scene. We talked about it, it seems like these Martha toad. But we are a bit worried, because some may be toxic toad. However, Martha does not seem to be hurt, but it never hurt the toad, so we will not intervene. After that, if Martha saw a toad in walking on the sidewalk, it will run in the past, with the nose nudge footmarks little thing until it is safe to jump off the sidewalk back to the grass, was safely away.

第二年夏天也是如此。玛莎依然喜欢从黄昏时分就待在前院的天井里乘凉。很多次，我们注意到一只癞蛤蟆就在离它的脸几英寸的地表或者，我们看着玛莎走进草丛，嘴里衔着一只癞蛤蟆，回到休息的地方，然后将它放开。玛莎在夜晚会花费更多的时间和那只蛤蟆在一起，而蛤蟆也越来越大。
The next summer as well. Martha still like to stay in the front yard at dusk from the patio shade. Many times, we noticed a toad on its face a few inches away from the place. Alternatively, we looked at Martha went into the bushes, his mouth a toad, back rest, and then release it. Martha at night will spend more time together, and that frog and toad is also growing.

第三年的夏天，我们让玛莎到院子里去，这时我们看到一只大蛤蟆从草丛里跳出来，停在离玛莎几英寸的地方。玛莎轻轻地低下头，这样它的鼻子刚好能够触摸到这只蛤蟆。我们一下子恍然大悟——也许那就是同一只蛤蟆!难道玛莎这三个夏天都是和同一只蛤蟆一起分享的吗？我们打电话给本地的一名野生动物学家，他告诉我们，一只蛤蟆的寿命有3到6年，所以这是完全有可能的。无论如何，这两个似乎绝无可能在一起的异类成为亲密的朋友，着实让我们奇怪，但是随后我们认识到：我们和玛莎也是两个完全不同的种类，但我们之间的爱却是很自然的。如果它能爱我们，为什么就不能爱一只蛤蟆呢？
The third year of the summer, we let Martha the yard, then we saw a big frog jumped out from the bushes, stopped a few inches away from the place where Martha. Martha gently bowed his head, so that it's nose just to touch this frog. We suddenly understood why - maybe that is the same frog! Is Martha and these three are the same frog summer share with you? We call a local wildlife biologist, he tells us, a frog's life has a 3-6 years, so it is entirely possible. Anyway, it seems impossible together two disparate became close friends, so that we really strange, but then we realize: We and Martha are also two completely different species, but it is the love between us very natural. If it loves us, why can not love a frog it?

在那个夏天，玛莎动了一个小手术，我们让它在屋里待了一段时间以恢复健康。但每个夜晚它都想要出去。几天后的一个晚上，我打开走廊的灯，以迎接我们事先约好的客人。当灯光照亮前面的门厅时，我大吃一惊:托德(我们给那只蛤蟆取的名字)竟站在那里!透过纱门盯着我!它从天井里足足跳上了3个台阶，我们猜想它是在寻找玛莎。
In the summer, Martha moved a minor, we let it in the house for a time in order to restore health. But it wants to go out every night. One night a few days later, I opened the hallway lights to greet our guests an appointment in advance. When the lights illuminate the front of the hall, I was shocked: Todd (we give that frog to take the name) actually standing there! Staring at me through the screen door! It from the patio full jumped three steps, We conjecture that it is looking for Martha.
这样的执着让我们无法拒绝，我们让玛莎出去见它的伙伴。它立即把这只蛤蟆衔进嘴里，然后走下台阶，在那里和托德鼻尖对鼻尖地亲热着。从那以后，如果玛莎有一段时间没有出门，托德就不时地到大门前来等它。我们会在天黑之前把门廊的灯打开，并且做了一个醒目的告示牌放在门廊上:"请不要踩着蛤蟆!"
Such dedication we can not refuse, we let Martha go out to see its partners. It immediately put into the mouth frog title, and then went down the steps. Todd nose right in there and affectionate with the tip of the nose. Since then, if Martha did not go out for some time, when Todd would not wait for it to come to the door. We will put before dark porch lights on, and made an eye-catching sign on the porch: "Please do not tread toad!"
