我家有一只猫，名字叫糖糖。糖糖最喜欢吃鱼。
爸爸做好了晚饭，放在桌子上。糖糖坐在桌子下，看着爸爸。我坐在桌子前，等吃饭。
爸爸去拿米饭。“怎么少了一块鱼？”
爸爸看着糖糖。糖糖看着爸爸：“喵。”
爸爸去拿筷子。“怎么又少了一块？”
“糖糖！是不是你？这是我们的晚饭！”糖糖看着爸爸，不说话。
爸爸去叫妈妈。“怎么少了一大半？”
爸爸很生气：“糖糖，今天你没有晚饭了！”
妈妈说：“糖糖很小，能吃一半吗？”
糖糖不说话，看着我。
我也不说话。我嘴里还有一块鱼呢。

English (for the teacher)
Today Dad bought a big fish. He said, “We’re having fish tonight!”
We have a cat called Tangtang. Tangtang loves fish more than anything.
Dad finished cooking dinner and put it on the table. Tangtang sat under the table, watching Dad. I sat at the table, waiting to eat.
Dad went to get the rice. “Why is a piece of fish missing?”
Dad looked at Tangtang. Tangtang looked at Dad: “Meow.”
Dad went to get the chopsticks. “Why is another piece missing?”
“Tangtang! Was it you? This is our dinner!” Tangtang looked at Dad and said nothing.
Dad went to call Mum. “Why is more than half of it gone?”
Dad was very cross: “Tangtang, no dinner for you today!”
Mum said, “Tangtang is so small. Can she really eat half a fish?”
Tangtang said nothing and looked at me.
I said nothing either. There was still a piece of fish in my mouth.
