爱睡觉的猫
The sleepy cat
Name: ________________ Date: ________
我家的猫很爱睡觉。
早上，在床上睡。中午，在爸爸的电脑上睡。下午，在妈妈的衣服里睡。
晚上我们吃饭，它还在睡。
妈妈说：“你们看，一天都在睡觉！”爸爸笑着说：“多睡觉，很好！”
那天夜里三点，我起来喝水。我听到有人在说话。
我开了灯。猫坐在桌子上，眼睛很大很大。
爸爸坐在旁边，拿着一块肉。
猫吃一口，爸爸吃一口。
爸爸看着我，小声说：“别告诉妈妈。”
第二天早上，猫在床上睡觉。爸爸在电脑前睡觉。妈妈说：“你们看，这两个一天都在睡觉！”

English (for the teacher)
Our cat loves to sleep.
In the morning, it sleeps on the bed. At noon, it sleeps on Dad’s computer. In the afternoon, it sleeps in Mum’s clothes.
In the evening while we eat dinner, it’s still asleep.
Mum says, “Look at it, asleep all day!” Dad smiles. “Lots of sleep is good for you!”
That night at three, I get up for a drink of water. I hear someone talking.
I switch on the light. The cat is sitting on the table, its eyes huge.
Dad is sitting next to it, holding a piece of meat.
A bite for the cat, a bite for Dad.
Dad looks at me and whispers, “Don’t tell Mum.”
The next morning, the cat is asleep on the bed. And Dad is asleep at his computer. Mum says, “Look at those two, asleep all day!”
