當羅斯福還是個小男孩時，飽受氣喘所苦。為了能夠康復，他花了很多時間從事戶外活動來增進他的體力並學習有關動物的一切資訊。因為他熱愛動物，所以他的六個小孩也喜歡動物。當羅斯福一家住在白宮時，孩子們收養了許多寵物，包括獾、 熊、浣熊、貓、狗、鼠、天竺鼠、蛇及一隻名為阿爾岡京 (Algonquin) 斑點花色的小馬。 夏季時，羅斯福的妻子及孩子們常常留在他們位於紐約長島家中。當羅斯福跟他的家人分隔兩地時，他時常寫信回家。圖中的信即是羅斯福寫給他那還不會閱讀的兒子西歐多爾二世的信；您猜猜看信的內容是什麼？


When Roosevelt was a young boy he had been sick with asthma. In order to get well he spent a lot of time outdoors building up his strength and learning about animals. Since he loved animals, it was no surprise that his six children loved them too. While the Roosevelt family lived in the White House, the children collected many pets, including a badger, a bear, a raccoon, cats, dogs, rats, guinea pigs, snakes, and a calico pony named Algonquin. During the summers, the children and Mrs. Roosevelt often stayed at their home in Long Island, New York. While they were away from their father, he often sent them letters. Roosevelt wrote one you see here to his son Theodore Jr. who had not yet learned to read. What do you think this letter was about?
