小女孩和大树

there was a little girl named Emily who loved playing outside in the sunshine. She would run and jump and play with her toys in the grass, and she loved exploring the world around her.
有一个小女孩叫艾米莉，她喜欢在阳光下玩耍。她会在草地上跑跳玩玩具，她喜欢探索周围的世界。

One day, as Emily was playing in the park, she noticed that there was a tree that looked sad and lonely. Its leaves were droopy and it didn't seem to have any friends nearby. Emily felt sad for the tree and wanted to do something to help.
有一天，当艾米莉在公园玩耍时，她注意到有一棵树看起来很悲伤和孤单。它的叶子很萎靡，周围似乎没有任何朋友。艾米莉为这棵树感到难过，想要做些什么来帮助它。

So, she went home and got a watering can filled with water. She brought it back to the park and poured the water around the base of the tree. Then, she sat down next to the tree and started talking to it.
于是，她回家拿了一桶水，把水倒在树的底部。然后，她坐在树旁边，开始跟它说话。

"Hi, tree," she said. "I'm Emily. I'm your friend now. I want to help you feel better." Emily talked to the tree for a while, telling it about her day and her favorite toys. She even sang a little song to the tree.
“你好，树。”她说，“我叫艾米莉，我是你的朋友。我想帮助你感觉更好。” 艾米莉跟树聊了一会儿，告诉它她的一天过得如何以及她最喜欢的玩具。她甚至给树唱了一首小歌。

After a while, Emily went home, but she didn't forget about her new friend. Every day, she came back to the park with her watering can and gave the tree more water. She talked to the tree and sang to it, and she even brought some of her toys to play with next to the tree.
过了一会儿，艾米莉回家了，但是她没有忘记她的新朋友。每天，她都会带着水壶回到公园，给树浇水。她跟树说话、唱歌，甚至把一些玩具带来，放在树旁边玩。

Slowly but surely, the tree started to look better. Its leaves perked up and it started growing new branches. Birds and squirrels started coming to the tree to play, and it became a happy and lively part of the park.
慢慢地，这棵树开始变得更好了。它的叶子挺直了，开始长出新的树枝。鸟儿和松鼠开始来到这棵树旁边玩耍，它成为公园里快乐而生机勃勃的一部分。

Emily felt proud of herself for helping the tree, and she was happy to have a new friend. She learned that even the smallest actions, like watering a tree, can make a big difference in the world.
艾米莉为自己帮助这棵树而感到自豪，她很高兴有一个新朋友。她学到了即使是最小的行动，比如给树浇水，也可以在世界上产生很大的影响。
