Yes, the wild things of the out-of-doors are so interesting that all over the world today thousands of men and women are studying them. And they are writing books and stories of the wonderful things they see and learn. You are now going to read some of these stories. Three Boy Scouts will tell you how it feels to be surrounded by lions at night. Mrs. Bradley will tell you about Pembe Kubwa, a wise and wicked elephant. Mr. Rutledge will explain why birds and animals need our help in this day of farms and cities. As you read some of these stories and observe the outdoor life around you, perhaps you will learn, too, that while some outdoor things should be protected, others must be destroyed.
是的，户外的野生动物是如此有趣，以至于今天全世界成千上万的男人和女人都在研究它们。他们正在写书和故事，讲述他们所看到和学到的美好事物。你们现在要读其中的一些故事。三个童子军会告诉你晚上被狮子包围的感觉。布拉德利会告诉你彭比·库布瓦的事，一只聪明而邪恶的大象。拉特里奇先生将解释为什么鸟类和动物在这个农场和城市的今天需要我们的帮助。当你读到其中一些故事并观察你周围的户外生活时，也许你也会学到，有些户外的东西应该得到保护，而有些则必须被摧毁。
