绘本菜园里，泥土中(UpintheGarden,DownintheDirt)(7)

Down in the dirt, skunks work the night shift(值夜班).
They snuffle(呼哧呼哧的喘着气) and dig, and gobble cutworms(切叶虫) while I sleep.

Up in the garden, a praying mantis wakes to hunt mosquitoes(蚊子).
Nana sprays away the aphids(拿药喷走这些蚜虫), and I"m after grasshoppers(蚂蚱).
Ready to swoosh(嗖嗖地的掠过), but ...

Snap(快咬它)! Someone else is faster!!
Down in the dirt, a smooth, shining garter snake(袜带蛇) crunches on supper(嘎吱嘎吱地嚼着晚餐).
