一天吃几顿饭？
How many meals for a cat on a diet?
Name: ________________ Date: ________
从阳阳家出来，爷爷走得很快。“我们写寻猫启事去！快！”
阳阳画了一张豆腐，画得跟真的一样。乐乐在下面写：“白猫，很胖，叫豆腐。看见它的人，请给三号楼一楼的赵老师打电话。”
他们在门口、树上、电梯里，都贴了一张。
下午三点，赵老师的电话来了：“有人看见一只白猫在树上！”
大家跑过去一看，树上是一个白色的塑料袋。
五点，又有人打电话来。这次真的是一只白猫，可是很瘦。赵老师看了一眼：“不是。我的豆腐，比它胖多了！”
回到家，乐乐打开本子，写下：中午，钱阿姨的小鱼；晚上六点，赵老师的饭；八点，阿亮的火腿肠；十点，阳阳的猫粮。
“一天四顿饭，”乐乐说，“这叫减肥？”
可是还有一件事，她不知道：早上六点，豆腐一出门，去了哪儿？
乐乐抬起头。爷爷的衣服上，有一根白色的猫毛。
“爷爷，”她说，“你每天早上六点去‘上班’，是一个人去的吗？”

English (for the teacher)
Once they were out of Yangyang’s flat, Grandpa walked very fast. “Let’s go and write lost-cat posters! Quick!”
Yangyang drew a picture of Tofu that looked just like the real thing. Underneath, Lele wrote: “White cat, very fat, called Tofu. If you see it, please call Teacher Zhao, ground floor, Building 3.”
They stuck one up at the gate, on the trees and in the lifts.
At three in the afternoon, Teacher Zhao called: “Someone’s seen a white cat up a tree!”
Everyone ran over to look. Up the tree was a white plastic bag.
At five, someone else called. This time it really was a white cat, but a thin one. Teacher Zhao took one look. “No. My Tofu’s much fatter than that!”
Back home, Lele opened her notebook and wrote: noon, Auntie Qian’s little fish; six in the evening, Teacher Zhao’s dinner; eight, A-Liang’s ham sausage; ten, Yangyang’s cat food.
“Four meals a day,” said Lele. “And this is a diet?”
But there was one thing she didn’t know: at six in the morning, when Tofu went out, where did it go?
Lele looked up. On Grandpa’s coat was a white cat hair.
“Grandpa,” she said, “when you go to ‘work’ at six every morning, do you go on your own?”
