Klas: Good morning, May. Good girl, you are reading English books again.

May: Good morning. There is no reason to miss so beautiful a morning. Is that a new bird?

Klas: Oh, yes, my daughter bought it yesterday. We call her Lulu.

May: It looks so cute. Is it a parrot?

Klas: Yes. Just look at her colorful feathers. What else can it be?

May: I see. It's interesting that there is also a parrot in my English book. His mane is Polly.

Klas: Really? A foreign parrot!

May: He can speak English, too.

Klas: Maybe you can teach Lulu some English words.

May: Lulu. Lulu. Say “hello”. “hello”. Oh, she is so smart. Good bird.

Klas: You are a good teacher. Okay, I am gonna play some chess now. Just go back to your book.

Lulu: Hello. Hello. Hello.

Klas: Haha. After all, she is just a bird.

克勞斯：阿美，早上好。真是好孩子，又在讀英語了！

阿美：早上好。沒有理由錯過這么美麗的早晨。那是只新鳥嗎？

克勞斯：哦，是的，我女兒昨天給我買的。我們叫它魯魯。

阿美：它看起來真可愛。它是只鸚鵡嗎？

克勞斯：是的。你看它多彩的羽毛，還能是別的什么鳥嗎？

阿美：知道了。真有趣，我的英語書里也有一只鸚鵡。它的名字是波利。

克勞斯：真的嗎？一只外國鸚鵡！

阿美：它也會說英語哦。

克勞斯：也許你可以教魯魯幾個英語單詞啊。

阿美：魯魯，魯魯，說“哈嘍”“哈嘍”。哦，它真聰明。真是只好鳥。

克勞斯：你是個好老師。好了，我要去下象棋了。你繼續讀書吧。

魯魯：“哈嘍”“哈嘍”“哈嘍”。

克勞斯：哈哈，它畢竟只是一只鳥啊。

Klas: I like birds especially the parrot which is really cute and smart. My daughter just got me a parrot days ago. We call her Lulu. Lulu is so smart that she can even say some English words. The only problem is that Lulu can't find the right time to say these words, but it also brings us a lot of fun.
