A story about a sandwich so tall it reaches the clouds!
一个关于太高太大的三明治的故事!

Once upon a time, a boy named Tim wanted to make the biggest sandwich ever.
从前,有个叫提姆的男孩,想做世界上最大的三明治。
He laid down the first slice of bread on a giant table in his backyard.
他在自家后院的大桌子上放下第一片面包。
Then he added lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and ham, carefully stacking each layer.
然后他小心地一层层加上生菜、番茄、奶酪和火腿。
The sandwich grew taller and taller until it was as tall as Tim himself.
三明治越堆越高,最后和提姆一样高了。
He smiled proudly and decided it was time for the next layer.
他笑着决定,是时候加下一层了。

Soon, Tim realized he needed a ladder to keep adding more layers.
很快,提姆发现自己需要一把梯子才能继续加层。
He climbed carefully, spreading peanut butter and jelly at the top.
他小心地爬上去,在顶上抹上花生酱和果酱。
His dog Barky barked from below, wondering how Tim would eat it all.
他的狗巴奇在下面汪汪叫,好奇提姆要怎么吃。
Neighbors came out to watch, cheering him on as the sandwich towered higher.
邻居们也出来观看,为他加油打气。
By the time the sun began to set, the sandwich touched the tree branches.
当太阳快要下山时,三明治已经碰到树枝了。

Birds perched on the sandwich to have a little nibble.
小鸟们停在三明治上,偷吃几口。
Tim laughed and said, “Even the birds think it’s delicious!”
提姆笑着说:“连鸟儿都觉得好吃!”
He used the ladder to climb down and admired his masterpiece.
他顺着梯子爬下来,欣赏自己的杰作。
It looked like a skyscraper made of bread and toppings.
那看起来就像一座由面包和馅料组成的摩天大楼。
But now came the hardest part — how to take a bite!
但现在最难的问题来了——要怎么咬一口呢?

Tim thought and thought, then had a brilliant idea.
提姆想啊想,终于想到了一个好办法。
He climbed halfway up the ladder and leaned forward carefully.
他爬到梯子一半的高度,小心地往前探。
He took the biggest bite he could — “Mmm!
他狠狠地咬了一口——“嗯!
Delicious!”
太好吃了!”
The sandwich wobbled but stayed standing, tall and proud.
三明治摇晃了一下,但依然笔直挺立。
It was the tastiest adventure Tim ever had.
这是提姆吃过最美味的冒险。

The next day, Tim invited everyone in the neighborhood.
第二天,提姆邀请了整个邻居来。
They brought plates and forks and climbed the ladder together.
大家带着盘子和叉子,一起爬上梯子。
They all shared the giant sandwich, laughing and chatting.
他们一起分享这座巨大的三明治,笑声不断。
Even Barky got a special plate of crumbs.
连巴奇也得到了一盘碎屑特别餐。
It became a day to remember — The Feast of the Towering Sandwich!
那一天成为大家难忘的“高耸三明治盛宴”!
