“I dont need a haircut！” he would always shout. One day， Sammy got his worst haircut yet. After that， he decided2 he would never get another haircut again.
他总是一直吵着：“我不需要理发！”有一天，萨米剪了一个最糟糕的发型之后，他决定以后再也不理发了。
For a while， he loved his long hair. It grew past his eyes， and he liked how it blew every where when it was windy outside. It grew past his nose， and he liked how it moved when he shook3 his head around. Now， it grew past his chin， and he didnt want to cut them at all.
有一段时间，他很喜爱他的长发。头发长过他的眼睛时，他喜欢在外面刮风时头发被吹向各个方向。头发长过他的鼻子了，他喜欢在他摇头时长发跟着摆动。现在，头发已经长过他的下巴了，但是他一点也不想剪掉。
But as his hair got longer， some things got harder. It was harder for Sammy to see since the hair covered his eyes. He ate two napkins4 before he found that they werent cakes.
但是随着他的头发变长，有些事情变得越来越艰难。由于头发遮住了眼睛，萨米很难看清东西。他吃了两张餐巾纸才意识到自己吃的不是蛋糕。
It was also harder for Sammy to wash his hair since it was so long. In the shower， he found two potato chips in his hair. It was even harder for Sammy to wear hats. His baseball cap couldnt fit on a head with so much hair.
由于头发太长了，萨米洗头也很难。在淋浴时，他发现两块薯片粘在了头发上。萨米要戴帽子更难。他的棒球帽已经不能戴在头发那么多的头上了。
His hair grew past his shoulders， and Sammy didnt know what to do with it. It grew past his belly button5， and Sammy wasnt enjoying his long hair as much as he used to. It grew past his feet， and Sammy kept tripping6 over it. Sammy was not so happy with his long hair anymore.
他的头发超过肩膀了，萨米不知道该拿它怎么办。然后超过了他的肚脐，萨米不再像以前那样喜欢他的长发了。头发长过他的脚了，萨米不断被绊倒。萨米对他的长发不再感到满意了。
At last， one morning his parents had enough， so they went to his room to take him to the barber7. But by that time his hair had been full of his room， and it was still growing！
终于，一天早晨，他的父母受够了，于是他们跑到他的房间，带他去理发店。但是这时，他的头发已经塞满了整个房间，而且还在一直长！
Sammy squeezed8 out the front door， and his hair followed behind. He sat in the back of the car， and his hair dragged9 behind him. His parents sat him in the barber chair， and his hair was full of the shop！
薩米挤出前门，他的头发拖在后面。他坐到汽车的后座上，头发被迫在后面拖着。他的父母让他坐在理发椅上，他的头发铺满了整个理发店！
When the haircut was over， Sammy felt great. When he looked in the mirror， he thought that maybe he was wrong about haircuts.
理完发后，萨米感觉很棒。当他看着镜子时，他想也许以前他关于理发的想法是错的。
Everyone was happy...except for the barber who spent the next three days cleaning up all the hair he had cut.
每个人都很高兴……除了理发师，他花了接下来的三天时间才清理完剪下来的所有头发。
