English (for the teacher)
Luo Xiaole is seven. Today at school, the teacher said, 'When someone says 谢谢 to you, you say 不客气.'
Luo Xiaole got home. Mum gave her a glass of water. Luo Xiaole said, 'Thank you, Mum!' Mum said, 'You're welcome.'
Dad gave her an apple. 'Thank you, Dad!' Dad said, 'No need to thank me.'
She thought: so 不用谢 works too! She wanted to say 不客气 too, just once!
She gave Mum a cup of tea. Mum was on the phone and didn't say anything.
She gave her big brother some bread. He was watching TV and didn't say anything either.
Nobody said 谢谢 to her.
In the evening, Dad asked, 'Where's my phone?'
Luo Xiaole went to look. The phone was under the table! 'Dad, it's here!'
Dad said, 'Thank you!'
She was overjoyed: 'You're welcome! You're welcome! You're welcome!'
The next morning, Dad asked again, 'Where's my phone?'
She grinned: 'Dad, I know where it is! It's under the table!'
