小熊貝波坐在家門口的臺階上休息，這時(shí)，好朋友巨嘴鳥胡安來和它打招呼，并提議到中央公園去玩。兩個(gè)小伙伴一個(gè)在天上飛，一個(gè)在地上走。它們來到公園，胡安發(fā)現(xiàn)了一片湖水，又提議到湖上劃船。它們在湖上劃了一圈，胡安又看到了游樂場，就提議到游樂場玩滑梯。但是貝波太累了，于是提議小睡一會(huì)兒。兩個(gè)小伙伴便倒在樹蔭下小憩起來。

Bear Bebo was relaxing on the front stoop of his apartment when Toucan Juan flew up to greet him.

“Bebo， lets go to the park！” said Juan.

“Yes， I love the park，” said Bebo.

Bebo walked and Juan

flew down the street. When they arrived at the Central Park， Juan saw the lake. “Bebo， lets go to the lake！” said Juan.

“Wait for me！”said Bebo， who couldnt run as fast as Juan.

When Juan reached the lake， he jumped into a rowboat and said， “Bebo， lets row！”

“Im coming！” called Bebo.

They rowed all around the lake.

When they brought the boat back to the dock， Juan saw a big playground.

“Bebo， lets go to the slide！” said Juan as he flew to the slide.

But Bebo was tired. It was hard keeping up with his friend.

Just then， Bebo saw a big lawn in the distance. That gave him an idea. “Weve been playing all afternoon， Juan，” said Bebo. “How about taking a nap？”

“Yes.” said Juan. So the two friends settled down in the shade of a tree for their nap.

故事里的兩個(gè)小伙伴來自不同的世界——一個(gè)是天上的飛鳥，一個(gè)是地上的小熊；一個(gè)飛得快，一個(gè)跑得慢。不過，這些不同絲毫也不影響兩個(gè)伙伴在一起玩兒。孩子們也一樣，每個(gè)小伙伴都有自己的長處或者不足，如果大家能取長補(bǔ)短、互相理解，友誼的小船就會(huì)永久前行。
