晚上的声音
A strange sound at night
Name: ________________ Date: ________
星期四晚上，妞妞睡不着。
十一点，她听见：“喵……”
很小，很高。咪咪就在她的床上睡觉呢。那是谁在叫？
妞妞拿上本子，走到爷爷的门口。声音就在里边！
“爷爷，你的房间里有什么？”
里边没有声音了。一会儿，爷爷说：“是我！我，我在唱歌。”
“唱歌？”
爷爷就唱了起来：“喵——喵——”
妞妞笑了。爷爷唱歌真不好听。
她在本子上写：晚上，爷爷的房间，喵。
第二天早上，爷爷从房间里出来。他手上拿着妞妞的红杯子！

English (for the teacher)
On Thursday night, Niuniu couldn’t sleep.
At eleven o’clock, she heard: “Meow…”
Very small, very high. But Mimi was right there on her bed, asleep. So who was meowing?
Niuniu took her notebook and walked to Grandpa’s door. The sound was right inside!
“Grandpa, what’s in your room?”
The sound stopped. After a moment, Grandpa said, “It’s me! I, I’m singing.”
“Singing?”
So Grandpa began to sing: “Meow… meow…”
Niuniu laughed. Grandpa’s singing was really terrible.
She wrote in her notebook: night, Grandpa’s room, meow.
The next morning, Grandpa came out of his room. In his hand was Niuniu’s red cup!
