English (for the teacher)
When Chinese people meet a new friend, they often ask, “Where do you live?”
Today, Ranran met Feifei at school.
Ranran asked, “Where do you live?”
“I live behind the school.”
“Me too! Which building are you in?”
“Building eight.”
“I live in building eight too! Which floor?”
“The sixth floor.”
“I live on the sixth floor too! Which number?”
“Six-oh-two. And you?”
“Six-oh-one!” Ranran looked at her and asked, “Do you have a little dog?”
“How did you know?”
“Every evening at six, it comes to my place for dinner.”
Feifei went quiet. Every evening at seven, it had dinner at her place.
She laughed. “Hello, neighbour! Our dog is far too fat!”
