Henry loved books， but not like you and I love books， no. Not quite…
Henry loved to EAT books. It all began quite by mistake one afternoon when he wasn’t paying attention. He wasn’t sure at first， and tried eating a single word， just to test.
亨利喜欢书，但跟你我喜欢书可不一样。完全不一样。
他喜欢“吃”书。这一切全因某天下午一个不经意的错误而起。刚开始，他也有点犹豫，然后试着吃了一个字，且当一试。
Next， he tried a whole sentence and then the whole page.
Yes， Henry definitely liked them. By Wednesday， he had eaten a whole book. And by the end of the month he could eat a whole book in one go.
接着，他试着吃了一个句子，然后吃了一整页。这下试出来了，亨利是真的喜欢吃书呢！到了星期三，他吃完一整本书。到了月底，他一口气就能吃掉一本书了。
Henry loved eating all sorts of books. Story books， dictionaries， atlases， joke books， books of facts， even math books. But red ones were his favorites. And he was going through them at fierce rate.
亨利什么书都喜欢吃。故事书、字典、地图册、笑话书、常识书，甚至数学书也喜欢。不过他最喜欢的还数红颜色的书，而且能以超级快的速度吃完。
But here is the best bit： the more he ate， the smarter he got.
Before long he could do his father’s crossword in the newspaper， and was even smarter than his teacher in school.
Henry loved being smart. So he kept eating books… And he kept getting smarter…and smarter… and smarter.
吃书的最大好处是：吃得越多，他就越聪明。
前不久，他都会做父亲报纸上的填字游戏了，甚至比学校里的老师还聪明。
亨利很喜欢自己能变得聪明。于是他不停地吃书，不停地变聪明，变得越来越聪明，越来越聪明。
But the thing started going not so well. Henry was eating too many books， and too quickly at that. He was beginning to feel a little ill.
But here is the worst bit. Everything he was learning was getting mixed up…he didn’t have time to digest it properly. Suddenly Henry didn’t feel very smart at all.
不过，事情开始向不太好的方向发展。亨利吃了太多书，而且吃得太快。他开始觉得有点不舒服了。
最糟糕的是，由于没有时间消化，他把学进去的东西都搞混了……突然间，亨利再也不觉得自己聪明了。
More than one person told him he should stop eating books.
-No more book. Dad.
-Your HEAD and BELLY can’t cope. Doctor.
-Besides， it means no one else can enjoy them. A desperate book.
-You owe a total of…School principal.
So， Henry gave up eating books， and sat sadly for a long time. What was he to do？
不止一个人告诉他不能再吃书了。
爸爸说：不许再吃书了。
医生说：你的脑子和肚子应付不来呀！
一本绝望的书说：还有，你吃掉书后，别人就不能看了呀！
校长说：你该还好多好多书……
于是，亨利不吃书了。他心情沮丧地坐了很久。他该怎么办呢？
Then， after a while， and almost by accident， Henry picked up a half-eaten book from the floor. But instead of putting it in his mouth…Henry opened it up…and began to read.
然后，过了一会儿，就在不经意间，亨利从地上拾起一本吃了一半的书。他没有把书塞进嘴里，而是打开了它，开始阅读。
Henry discovered that he loved to read， and he thought that if he read enough he might still become the smartest person on Earth. It would just take a bit longer.
亨利发现他好喜欢阅读。他觉得，只要读的书够多，他总会成为这世上最聪明的人的，只不过需要多一点时间。
