楊天澤/Adam在牙買加蒙特哥貝海灘

Today, Jasper was going to the beach!

今天，賈斯珀要去海灘啦！

But before that, he first ran to a store to buy some dino toys.

不過在去之前，他先跑到一家商店買恐龍玩具。

He picked a T. rex, a raptor, and a Spinosaurus.

他挑了一只霸王龍、一只迅猛龍，還有一只棘龍。

It only cost him 11 dollars. After buying the toys, he happily ran to the beach.

一共才花去了11 美元。買好玩具，他就興沖沖地往海灘跑去。

The beach was lively, with a hotel and a restaurant.

海灘真熱鬧，有酒店，還有餐館。

海灘真熱鬧

Jasper jumped into the ocean to swim and found many pretty rocks.

賈斯珀跳進大海里游泳，他邊游泳，邊撿到了好多漂亮的石頭。

They were shiny and colorful, just like little crystals.

那些石頭都亮晶晶的，五顏六色，就像小水晶一樣。

Suddenly, he found a big diamond next to a crab!

忽然，他在一只螃蟹旁邊發現了一顆大鉆石！

He was a little scared the crab might pinch him, so he quickly grabbed the diamond.

他有點害怕螃蟹會夾他，于是飛快地抓起鉆石。

The crab started chasing him:

結果，那只螃蟹朝賈斯珀猛地追了過來：

"Hey, give it back! That’s my treasure!" the crab shouted.

“嘿，把它還給我！那是我的寶藏！”螃蟹大叫。

Jasper quickly held out his toy Spinosaurus at the crab—

賈斯珀趕緊拿出棘龍玩具對著螃蟹——

and to his surprise, the Spinosaurus came to life!

沒想到，棘龍真的變活了！

It snapped at the crab and said, "You are safe now!"

它咬向螃蟹，并對賈斯珀說：“你現在安全啦！”

Jasper was so happy.

賈斯珀真是高興極了。

Then the T. rex and even the raptor came to life too!

接著，霸王龍和迅猛龍也都變得活了過來！

They played together, then went to eat at the restaurant.

他們一起玩耍，然后去餐館吃飯。

The restaurant was called Perfect Pizza.

那家餐館的名字叫“完美披薩”。

Jasper ordered a delicious cheese pizza, and his Jurassic friends chose big juicy steaks.

賈斯珀點了一份香噴噴的芝士披薩，恐龍朋友們則選擇了大塊牛排。

After lunch, they checked into two fancy hotel rooms, room number 2116.

午飯后，他們在酒店訂了間豪華套房，房號是 2116。

There was a big bathtub, and it was connected to another room.

房間里有一個大浴缸，還和另一間房相連。

Jasper and the dinosaurs had so much fun in both rooms.

賈斯珀和恐龍們在房間里玩得不亦樂乎。

The next morning, the dinosaurs turned back into toys.

第二天早上，恐龍朋友們又變回了玩具。

Jasper found a note under his pillow:

 賈斯珀在枕頭下面發現了一張紙條：

"We will come back to life on your birthday."

“當你過生日時，我們會再次變得活過來?！?/p>

Jasper carefully put the note in his backpack.

賈斯珀小心地把紙條放進書包里。

"We will be back next year!" he said with a big smile, already looking forward to his next birthday.

“我們明年會回來！”他微笑著說，已經開始期待自己的下一個生日。
