One evening, after thinking it over for some time,
Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight.
一天晚上，阿罗想了好一会儿，
决定到月光下走一走。
There wasn't any moon,
and Harold needed a moon for a walk in the moonlight.
And he needed something to walk on.
天上没有月亮，
要在月光下走，阿罗需要一个月亮。
还需要一条走的路。
He drew a moon.
And a path, straight and narrow,
for a walk in the moonlight.
他画了一个月亮。
又画了一条又直又窄的小路，
好在月光下散步。
And he set off on his walk,
taking his purple crayon with him.
他带着他的紫色蜡笔，
出发了。
The path led straight to where he thought
a forest ought to be—
so that he wouldn't get lost.
小路一直通向阿罗觉得
应该有森林的地方——
这样他就不会迷路了。
He drew a forest.
And he didn't get lost.
他画了一片森林。
他没有迷路。
And the path became a very long and winding path.
So long that when Harold drew his hand
back to his pocket to get his crayon,
he fell into the water.
小路变得又长又弯。
长到阿罗把手伸回口袋
去拿蜡笔的时候，
扑通一声掉进了水里。
But he drew himself up out of the water.
And he drew a boat, to sail in the water.
但他把自己从水里画了出来。
又画了一条船，在水上航行。
He sailed right through the forest.
And past an ocean.
And up, up to dry land again.
他穿过森林。
经过一片大海。
直到再次回到了陆地上。
He drew a hot air balloon
and floated up above everything.
他画了一个热气球，
飘到了所有东西的上方。
He drifted higher and higher.
He could see his house below.
He let himself down,
right into his own backyard.
他飘得越来越高。
看到了下面的家。
他缓缓降落，
正好落在自己的后院。
And Harold drew his bedroom window.
And climbed into bed,
and the purple crayon dropped from his hand
as he fell fast asleep.
阿罗画了自己的卧室窗户。
爬上了床，
紫色蜡笔从手中滑落，
他沉沉地睡着了。
