Someone isn't here and you miss them: how do you say it in Chinese? It's easy: "我想你." You can also say: "我想你了."

Cao Yun is five. This week her mum has gone to Beijing for work, so she isn't home.

On Monday evening, Cao Yun phoned her mum: "Mum, I miss you!"

Mum was very happy: "Mummy misses you too."

On Tuesday evening, Cao Yun said: "Mum, I really miss you!"

On Wednesday evening, Cao Yun said: "Mum, I miss you so, so much!"

On Thursday evening, Cao Yun asked: "Mum, when are you coming back?"

Mum said: "Go and open the door and see."

She opened the door. Mum was right outside!

At bedtime, Mum asked: "Do you still miss me?"

Cao Yun said: "Miss you?" "You're home!"

Mum laughed: "All right, then Mummy will go back to Beijing for work tomorrow."

Cao Yun said: "No, no!" "Mum, I miss you already!"
