星期三的鱼
School lunch: Wednesday’s fish
Name: ________________ Date: ________
我们学校的午饭很好吃，可是星期三有鱼。
我不喜欢吃鱼。
坐在我旁边的周东最喜欢吃鱼，不喜欢吃菜。
我们想了一个好办法：星期三，我的鱼给他吃，他的菜给我吃。
老师看了看我们：“你们都吃完了！”“很好！”
那天晚上，老师给我妈妈打了电话。
妈妈很高兴：“老师说，你的鱼都吃完了！”“你现在喜欢吃鱼了！”
我不知道说什么好。
第二天晚上，妈妈做了鱼。第三天晚上，也一样。
妈妈笑着说：“多吃一点儿！”
星期三，我对周东说：“你想不想去我家吃饭？”“我家天天都有鱼。”

English (for the teacher)
Our school lunches are good, but on Wednesdays there’s fish.
I don’t like fish.
Zhou Dong, who sits next to me, loves fish more than anything and doesn’t like vegetables.
We came up with a great plan: on Wednesdays, he eats my fish and I eat his vegetables.
The teacher looked at us. “You’ve both eaten everything!” “Very good!”
That evening, the teacher phoned my mum.
Mum was delighted. “Your teacher says you ate all your fish!” “So now you like fish!”
I didn’t know what to say.
The next evening, Mum cooked fish. The evening after that, the same again.
Mum smiled. “Have some more!”
On Wednesday, I said to Zhou Dong, “Do you want to come to my place for dinner?” “We have fish every day.”
