妈妈的电话
Mum’s secret phone call
Name: ________________ Date: ________
星期五晚上，妞妞坐在床上，看着她的本子。
很小的嘴。白毛。晚上的“喵”。大伟家的小猫，少了一个。
她明白了：“爷爷的房间里，有一只小猫！”明天是星期六。明天，爷爷就会开门了吧？
妞妞很高兴，想马上告诉咪咪。这个时候，她听见妈妈在打电话。
“对，明天给她。咪咪？咪咪老了，我们送它……”
妈妈关上了门。
送咪咪走？
妞妞不笑了。家里有了小猫，咪咪要走了吗？
咪咪在她旁边，看着她：“喵？”
妞妞对咪咪说：“别怕，咪咪。我是小侦探。谁也不能送你走！”

English (for the teacher)
On Friday evening, Niuniu sat on her bed and looked at her notebook.
A very small mouth. White hairs. A “meow” at night. One of Dawei’s kittens, missing.
Now she understood: “There’s a kitten in Grandpa’s room!” Tomorrow is Saturday. Tomorrow, Grandpa will open his door, won’t he?
Niuniu was very happy and wanted to tell Mimi straight away. Just then, she heard Mum on the phone.
“Yes, we’ll give it to her tomorrow. Mimi? Mimi’s getting old, so we’re sending her…”
Mum shut the door.
Send Mimi away?
Niuniu stopped smiling. Now there’s a kitten, does Mimi have to go?
Mimi sat beside her and looked at her: “Meow?”
Niuniu said to Mimi, “Don’t worry, Mimi. I’m a little detective. Nobody is sending you away!”
