这本图画书里有一只像孩子的小兔子和一只像爸爸的大兔子。小兔子像所有的孩子一样爱比较。它们俩在比赛谁的爱更多一些。大兔子用智慧赢得了比赛和小兔子稍微少一点的爱，可小兔子用它的天真和想象赢得了大兔子多出一倍的爱。两只兔子都获胜了。

Little Nutbrown Hare,who was going to bed,held on tight to Big Nutbrown Hare's very long ears.

栗色的小兔子想要去睡觉了，它紧紧地抓住栗色的大兔子的长耳朵。

He wanted to be sure that Big Nutbrown Hare was listening."Guess how much I love you,"he said.

它要栗色的大兔子好好地听。它说：“猜猜我有多爱你？”

"Oh,I don't think I could guess that,"said Big Nutbrown Hare.

“噢，我大概猜不出来。”栗色的大兔子说。

"This much,"said Little Nutbrown Hare,stretching out his arms as wide as they could go.

“有这么多。”它伸开双臂，拼命往两边张。

Big Nutbrown Hare had even longer arms."But I love you this much,"he said.

栗色的大兔子的手臂更长，它说：“可是，我爱你有这么多。”

Hmm,that is a lot,thought Little Nutbrown Hare.

嗯，是很多，栗色的小兔子想。

"I love you as high as I can reach,"said Little Nutbrown Hare.

“我爱你，有我够到的那么高。” 栗色的小兔子举起胳膊说。

"I love you as high as I can reach,"said Big Nutbrown Hare.

“我爱你，也有我够到的那么高。”大兔子也举起胳膊说。

That is quite high,thought Little Nutbrown Hare.I wish I had arms like that.

这太高了，栗色的小兔子想，我真希望我也有那样的胳膊。

Then he lay down close by and whispered with a smile,"I love you right up to the moon-and back."

然后，它躺在小兔子的身边，小声地微笑着说：“我爱你，到月亮那么高，再——绕回来。”
