George Washington is one of
America’s greatest heroes.
Most people know that
George was honest and brave.
But there is something about
George that people don’t always know.
George Washington是美国最伟大的英雄之一
大部分人们知道他十分诚实且勇敢
但他也有一些不为大多数人所知的故事
George Washington loved animals.
George Washington十分喜爱动物
George learned to ride horses as a boy.
Sometimes he rode into town.
George rode fast, but he never fell.
People said he was the best rider
George享受同他的妻子、
他的动物们生活在Vernon山庄的生活
但是美国需要他
那时候美国还不是一个独立的国家
它是英国的殖民地
这意味着它仍然属于英国管辖、
美国的许多人民想摆脱英国的控制
于是战争开始了
这场战争被称为“美国革命战争”
The colonists chose George to be their general.
George chose his favorite dog,
Sweetlips, to go with him.
He said goodbye to Martha and Mount Vernon.
He jumped on his horse, Nelson.
Then he rode into battle.
Sweetlips was right beside him.

brought dogs with them to war.
Dogs helped hunt. Dogs helped track the way.
Dogs helped guard against wild animals.
Best of all, dogs were good partners!
在那个年代，士兵们常常把狗儿带上战场
狗儿可以协助打猎，狗儿可以探路
他们可以帮士兵们抵御野兽的袭击
最重要的是，狗儿们是很好的伙伴
The general of the English army
was named William Howe.
He had a dog, too.
He also had 9,000 soldiers.
They had plenty of supplies.
