《我是一朵不怕事的小花》
（I’m Just a Little Flower... But I Don’t Give Up!）

第1页
大家好，我是一颗野花种子。
没人种我，也没人管我，
我自己躺在马路边的小小土坑里。

Hello there! I’m a wildflower seed.
No one planted me. No one watered me.
I just landed in a crack by the road.

冬天来了，风呼呼地刮，雪哗哗地下，
我被冻得直打哆嗦……但我没哭！

Then winter came...
The wind whooshed. The snow whooshed louder!
I shivered like jelly... but I didn’t cry!

第3页
春天来了，下雨了。
哗啦啦，我泡了个“泥水澡”。
小狗来了，踩我一脚。
小猫来了，踩我两脚。
我都没说话。

Spring came. Rain poured down.
I took a squishy mud-bath.
A puppy stepped on me—ouch!
Then a kitten stepped on me—double ouch!
But I said nothing.

然后，他们……还在我头上……嗯，拉了粑粑！
天哪，那可真是……有味道的营养吧？

And then... oh no!
They POOPED on my head!
Eww! Gross? Maybe.
But hey—free fertilizer!

第5页
我没有生气，也没有放弃，
我小小的身体往下一钻，往上一拱——
我发芽啦！

Did I give up? Nope!
I pushed down with my roots, up with my shoot...
And pop! A tiny sprout!

第6页
阳光洒下来，春风吹起来，
我在风中轻轻摇呀摇，
就像在唱歌跳舞！

The sun came out. The wind sang sweetly.
I wiggled in the breeze like I was dancing!
“La-la-la,” I whispered, “I’m alive!”

第7页
然后有一天早晨，
我身上一热，“咔哒”一声！
我开出了一朵小花！
黄黄的，小小的，可精神啦！

Then one morning...
Something warm tickled me.
“POP!”
Out came a flower—bright yellow, tiny, but so proud!

第8页
走路的人停下脚步说：
“哎呀，这么坚强的小花！”
“在路边也能开得这么好，真了不起！”

People stopped and said,
“Wow! What a tough little flower!”
“Look how beautiful it blooms—even by the road!”

第9页
我不是公园里的花，
没有围栏，也没人浇水。
但我知道，
我是一朵勇敢、努力、值得被看到的小花！

I’m not a fancy garden flower.
No fence. No gardener. No soft soil.
But I am brave, I worked hard,
And I deserve to be seen.

第10页（结尾）
所以啊，
不管你现在在什么样的地方，
只要不放弃，
总有一天，
你也能开出最特别的花！

So you see,
No matter where you are,
If you don’t give up,
One day,
You’ll bloom your own special way!

有的花生在花园，有的花生在马路边。
每一朵努力活下来的花，都配拥有掌声。

Some flowers grow in gardens, some by the road.
Every flower that fights to bloom—deserves to shine.
