Built in the 1800's, the buildings that house Prondfoot's are still used as a boat club, tea room, and restaurant.

普罗德富特的船屋自十九世纪建造以来，就被当作水上俱乐部、茶馆和餐馆来使用。

Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel came into the world in 1904, when children learned from sterile textbooks. In 1937, Geisel had just suffered his 27th rejection for his first children's book, "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street," when he bumped into a friend who worked for Vanguard Press.

美国最受欢迎的儿童文学作家西朵·苏士吉赛（绰号“苏斯博士”）出生于1904年，当时孩子们只能看枯燥无味的教科书。1937年，苏士吉赛的第一本儿童作品"And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street"被第27次退稿，这时他邂逅了Vanguard出版社的一个朋友。

"Ted told him that he'd been refused all of these times and he was going home to burn it," his wife Audrey Geisel says.

The encounter, of course, led to publication. The book created a stir among teachers and parents who feared it would encourage children to lie. "It was so off the wall," Geisel says. "They even thought, 'Oh, it might teach a child to fib,' instead of imagine, you see? There's the difference."

The book did become a hit, and over the years Dr. Seuss became one of the most popular children's authors ever. He published 44 children's books in more than 20 languages, and one non-children's book, "The Seven Lady Godivas." More than 500 million Dr. Seuss books have been sold worldwide.

Dr. Seuss' books appeal to children 一 and adults 一 because of their clever rhymes and plot twists. In "The Cat in the Hat," for example, readers expect the boy and girl to get in trouble when their mother comes home, but suddenly the cat comes to the rescue. Seuss gives us an ordinary house transformed by an extraordinary cat. There's something brilliant in the way he does that.

歌词：

Close my eyes and feel your mind
Time has passed
I walk like a shadow
Never knew what I am going through
You touch my heart and take my breath away

Whisper on the wind so softly
Let the bright stars fill our dreams with love
Reach for your hand (You're holding my key)
And you show me the way

Tonight, I feel close to you
You open my door and light the sky above
When I need a friend, you are there right by my side
I wish we could stay as one
I wish we could stay forever as one

All the tears that haunt my past
You promised it'll be better tomorrow
Play that song
You and I listened to
And let it gently ease our pain

Tender rain drops from the blue sky
Flowers blooming, life is so divine
Like sunlight on a stream (You're holding my key)
You show the world to me

Tonight, I feel close to you
You open my door and light the sky above
When I need a friend, you are there right by my side
I wish we could stay as one

So much love in this beautiful world
Search for the brightest star in the sky
You will find the meaning of love
Don't be afraid (Don't be afraid)
Just be yourself (Just be yourself)
We need this love... I've never knew

Tonight, I feel close you
You open my door and light the sky above
When I need a friend, you are there right by my side
I wish we could stay as one

Tonight, I feel close to you
You open my door and light the sky above
When I need a friend, you are there right by my side
I wish we could stay as one
I wish we could stay forever as one
