New Kittens
Mama cat had six new kittens. Three kittens were black, and two were white. One kitten was black, with white feet and a white face. Nancy asked, “Mom, can we keep all the kittens?” Her mom said no. “We can’t afford to keep six kittens,” she said. “When the kittens are three months old, we will give them away.” Nancy asked if she could keep one kitten. Her mom said okay. Nancy decided to keep the kitten with white feet. She called him Boots. When the other five kittens were three months old, Nancy’s mom took pictures of them. Nancy took the pictures to school. She showed the pictures to her friends. All her friends wanted a kitten. They came to her house the next day. They took all the kittens except Boots. “Boots is my kitten,” Nancy told her friends. Then her mom said, “We have to take mama cat to the cat doctor.” Nancy asked why. “We have to fix her,” her mom said. “We don’t want her to have more kittens. The doctor will fix her.”
貓媽媽生了六只小貓。三只黑的,兩只白的。其中一只黑貓的臉和腳都是白的。南希問道:“媽媽,我能認養所有小貓嗎?”媽媽說不行。她說到:“我們沒錢供養六只貓。等小貓三個月大,我們就要把它們送人。”南希問是否能收養一只。媽媽說可以。南希決定收養那只腳是白色的小貓。她管他叫Boots。等五只小貓三個月大時,南希的媽媽為他們拍攝了照片。南希將照片帶進了學校。她向同學們展示圖片。所有人都想收養一只。第二天,他們來到了南希的家。除了小貓Boots,其它五只都被拿走了。南希對朋友們說:“Boots是我的。”媽媽說:“我們要帶貓媽媽去看病。”南希問為什么。媽媽說;“我們要幫助她。我們不能再讓她生小貓了。醫生會幫助解決的。”
