the Reversible DogEvery Sunday, Paul and his crew ate hot cakes. Each hot cake was so large that it took five men to eat one. Paul usually had ten or more hot cakes, depending on how hungry he was. The table where the men ate was so long that a server usually drove to one end of the table and stayed the night. The server drove back in the morning, with a fresh load of food.
Paul needed someone to help with the camp's finances. He gave the job to a man named Johnny Inkslinger. Johnny kept records of everything, including wages and the cost of feeding Babe. He sometimes used nine containers of writing fluid a day to keep such detailed records.
The camp also was home to Sport, the Reversible Dog. One of the workers accidentally cut Sport in two. The man hurried to put the dog back together, but made a mistake. He bent the animal's back the wrong way. However, that was not a problem for Sport. He learned to run on his front legs until he was tired. Then, he turned the other way and ran on his back legs.每个星期天,保罗和他的船员吃热蛋糕.每一个蛋糕都太大，得用5个人才能吃一个。保罗通常有十个或更多的热蛋糕,取决于他是多么饿。
桌上的男人吃得太久,司机通常开车到桌子的一端,留下过夜。每当早上的时候司机开车回去，满载着新鲜的食物。
保罗需要有人来帮助阵营的财政状况。他把工作给了一个名叫约翰尼职业作家。约翰尼记录着一切,包括工资和剩余喂养Babe的钱。
他有时一天能够使用9瓶墨水来保持详细的记录。这个营地总是那只名叫Sport的一只叛逆的狗的家。其中一个工人偶然将够切成了两段，这个男人着急的将狗带了回去，但是发生了一个错误，他走错了道，然而，那对那只狗来说不是问题，它学着用它的前两条腿跑步，直到他很疲惫，然后用它的后两条腿去走另一条路。
