The sad chameleon has a problem, 变色龙很伤心，他遇到一个问题
unlike all the other animals, he has no colour of his own. 不像其他的动物一样，变色龙没有自己的颜色。
Changing wherever he goes, he turns red with the autumn leaves 他走到哪，就会变成周边的颜色，他会随着秋天的叶子变成红色，Black in the long dark winter, 又在漫长黑暗的冬天变成黑色。But in the spring, 春天到了的时候, in the green grass, 在绿草中，he finds a delightful solution. 他发现了一个令人开心的方案。
Parrots are green鹦鹉是绿色的
Goldfish are red 金鱼是红色的
Elephants are gray 大象是灰色的
Pigs are pink 猪是粉色的。All animals have a color of their own. 每个动物都有自己的颜色
except for chameleons 除了变色龙
They change color wherever they go 他们走到哪，就变成哪里的颜色
on lemons they are yellow 在柠檬上，他们变成黄色
In the heather they are purple 在石楠花里，他们变成紫色
and on the tiger, they are striped like tigers, 在老虎身上，他们穿上像老虎一样条纹的衣服
one day a chameleon who was sitting on a tiger's tail said to himself 一天，一只坐在老虎耳朵上的变色龙自言自语道
If I remain on a leaf, I shall be green forever. 如果我就待在一片叶子上，我应该永远都是绿色了and so I too will have a color of my own. 所以我也会有自己的颜色了
With the thought he cheerfully climbed on the greenest leaf, 想到这里，他爬到最绿的那片叶子上
But in autumn, the leaf turned yellow, 可是到了秋天的时候，叶子变黄了。and so did the chameleon. 于是变色龙也变成了黄色
Later the leaf turned red, 后来，叶子变红色了，and the chameleon too turned red. 变色龙也变成了红色
and then the winter winds blew the leaf from the branch and with it the chameleon. 然后冬风把叶子吹落，也吹落了叶子上的变色龙
The chameleon was black in the long winter night. 在漫长的冬夜里，变色龙变成了黑色
But when spring came he walked out in the green grass.春天来了，变色龙走进了绿色的草丛
And there he met another chameleon, 在草丛里，他遇见了另一只变色龙
He told his sad story, 他把自己伤心告诉了这只刚刚遇见的变色龙 "Won't we ever have a color of our own" he asked. 他说，拿到我们永远都不能有自己的颜色吗
I am afraid not, said the other chameleon, who was older and wiser. 这只变色龙年纪大一些，也更有智慧。我怕我们可能不会有了，不过， but he added, why don't we stay together, 我们为什么不待在一起呢？
We will still change colour wherever we go, 我们还是会随着环境的颜色变化颜色， but you and I will always be alike. 但是我两永远都是一样的。
So they remained side by side. 于是他俩人就肩并肩地待在了一起。
They were green together他俩一起变成了绿色
and purple, 紫色
and yellow 黄色
and red with white polka dots 红色带白色的圆点
and they lived happily ever after 从此过上了开心的生活
