The Friendly Ghost

善良的鬼魂

A nice woman lived by a large river. She loved children. She wanted to help them in any way. She loved her community, and everyone in the community loved her. She lived a very long time and became very wise.

河边住着一位善良的妇女，她很爱孩子，想尽办法帮助他们。她和同一小区里的人互爱互助。她很长寿，也因此变得很睿智。

When she died, she became a ghost. She was dead, but every night she returned to her community. She wanted to help children and not to cause them fright. But she had a scary voice. Children were afraid of her, but the ghost was a good one. She only scared them to help them.

她死后变成了一个鬼魂。她虽然死了，但每天晚上还是会回原来生活的地方看看。她希望帮助孩子们但又不想吓着他们。然而，她的声音是那样令人害怕。孩子们无一不怕她，但她并不会伤害他们。她吓唬他们只是为了帮助他们。

One night, some children and a dog were playing by the river. They were having fun with their pet. But they were far from home. Then the weather became bad. It rained and rained. The river was rising. It was very dark. The children knew they were lost. They needed to go north, but they didn't know which direction it was. When the moon came out, they saw a ghost by the river. The ghost said, "Go away!"

有一天晚上，几个孩子带着一只狗到河边玩耍，大家和宠物玩得很开心。但他们离家太远了，而且天气突然变化，开始不停的下雨，造成河水一只在上涨。天很黑，他们知道迷路了。家的方向在北边，但大家都分不清东西南北。月亮出来后，孩子们发现了河边的鬼魂。鬼魂对他们说道：“快走开！”

The children felt great fright. They knew it was a ghost. Then the ghost moved closer. She yelled again, "Go away!" The children became very upset. Some of them began to cry. The children knew they had a choice: they could escape, or they could stay and face this scary individual in the dark.

孩子们知道那是鬼，大家都非常害怕。随后那只鬼又向他们靠近并再次大喊道：“快走开！”孩子们都不知所措，其中有人开始哭了起来。孩子们知道，他们只有两个选择：要么跑，要么留在黑暗中面对这只吓人的鬼。

The children ran a long distance away. The ghost followed them all the way. Finally, the children reached home. The ghost was very happy. Soon the river rose higher and higher. It was very dangerous. The ghost had helped the children survive! She had saved them from the rising water. She also used her power to lead them home. Sometimes, meeting a ghost has advantages. A ghost can save your life!

孩子们跑了很远，那只鬼一路上也跟着他们。终于，孩子们都到家了。那只鬼魂感到很欣慰。很快，河水越涨越高，危险异常。她用自己的力量带着孩子们回到了家，救了他们，不然他们就要被水冲走了。有时候，见鬼也不见得是件坏事，说不定还能救命呢！
