Tom found many water babies living in the sea. A kind fairy lady visited them from time to time. But Tom was naughty： he teased the crabs and anemones and stole sweets from the fairy's cupboard. As punishment， he was turned into a sea urchin. The fairy also found a girl to give Tom some schooling.
汤姆发现好多小水娃生活在海里，有个慈祥的仙女时常来探望他们。但是汤姆太顽皮了，常去戏弄螃蟹和海葵，还到仙女的橱柜里去偷糖果。他被处罚变成了海胆。那个仙女还找了一个女孩来给他上课。
So she taught Tom every day of the week； only on Sundays she always went away home， and the kind fairy took her place. And， before she had taught many Sundays， his prickles had vanished quite away， and his skin was smooth and clean again.
于是她每天都来教汤姆，只是每到星期日她总要回家，而由那个慈祥的仙女来代课。她代了不到几个星期日，汤姆身上的刺就渐渐消失了，皮肤又变得细嫩清洁了。
"Dear me！" said the little girl； "why， I know you now. You are the same little chimney sweep who came into my bedroom. "Dear me！" cried Tom. "And I know you， too， now. You are the very little white lady whom I saw in bed."
"天啊，"小女孩叫道，"咳，我现在认出你了。你就是那个闯进我卧室的扫烟囱的小孩。" "天啊，"汤姆也叫起来，"我现在也认出你了，你就是那个我看到躺在床上的一身白的小姐。"
The fairy lady told Tom that he had to find Mr. Grimes. He swam for a long time， asking other sea creatures for directions. One day a ship on the surface was hit by a huge wave. A little black and tan terrier was washed over board. It turned into a water dog and became Tom's companion. Tom followed the dog through a hole at the bottom of the sea.
仙女告诉汤姆必须去找到格兰姆斯先生。他游了好久，一路上向海里的动物打听方向。有一天，海面上有艘船被大浪袭击，一只棕黑色的小狗坠入水中，变成了一条水狗，它于是成了汤姆的同伴。汤姆跟着小狗穿过海底的一个洞。
They made their way to a large prison building. There they saw Mr. Grimes stuck in a chimney with only his head and shoulders showing. Tom pulled at the bricks， but he could not move even one. The fairy lady appeared and told Grimes that his mother had gone to heaven.
他们终于到达了一所大监狱。在那里他们看到格兰姆斯先生被卡在一个烟囱里，只露出头和肩膀。汤姆想要把砖块搬开，但是一块也搬不动。仙女出现了，告诉格兰姆斯他的妈妈已经上了天堂。
