English Original
"Ten steps from the porch and twenty steps from the rose bushes," growled Bluebeard in Jimmy's dream one night. "There be treasure there! Aawrgh."
So the next day Jimmy began to dig. He dug until the hole was deep and the dirt pile was high.
He kept digging. The hole got deeper and the dirt pile got higher.
He dug until the hole was deepest and the dirt pile was at its highest. He sighed. "I'm too tired. I can't dig anymore." Then he spied something... but it was only one of Woofy's bones. Instead of treasure, all Jimmy had was a dog bone, a hole, and a big pile of dirt to fill it in with. He thought, "That pirate lied to me!"
But when Jimmy's mother saw what he had done, she clasped her hands and smiled a smile from here to Sunday. "Oh, thank you, Jimmy. I always wanted a rhododendron bush planted just there. Here's $5.00 for digging that hole."

一天晚上，蓝胡子在吉米的梦中咆哮道：“从门廊走十步，再从玫瑰丛走二十步。那里有宝藏！啊哈！”
于是第二天，吉米开始挖掘。他挖啊挖，直到洞变得很深，土堆变得很高。
他继续挖着。洞越来越深，土堆越来越高。
他一直挖到洞最深、土堆最高的时候。他叹了口气：“我太累了，挖不动了。”就在这时，他瞥见了什么东西……但那只是汪汪（宠物狗）的一根骨头。吉米没有找到宝藏，只得到了一根狗骨头、一个洞和一大堆需要填回去的泥土。他想：“那个海盗骗了我！”
但当吉米的妈妈看到他所做的一切时，她双手紧握，脸上绽开了无比灿烂的笑容。“哦，谢谢你，吉米。我一直想在那里种一株杜鹃花。这是给你挖洞的5美元。”
