爷爷慢慢地走过去。阳阳拿着手电，大家一起往箱子里看。
豆腐躺在爷爷的旧警服上，看着大家。它的肚子旁边，有五只小小的猫，正在睡觉。
最小的一只小猫，睡在爷爷的警察帽子里。
赵老师哭了：“豆腐！以后你想吃几顿，就吃几顿！”
钱阿姨又打喷嚏了，可是她一直在笑。阿亮说，他明天就去修摄像头。阳阳拿出笔，开始画画。他说，画完了，他要给妈妈打电话。
“爷爷，”乐乐小声说，“你的帽子找到了。”
爷爷看着帽子里的小猫，看了很久。“帽子，就给它吧。”然后他说：“我当了三十年警察。今天，是我孙女找到的。”
乐乐笑了：“这句话，你没说过。”
她打开本子，在第一个问题下面，写了答案：
一，大家都爱它。二，它的肚子里，有五只小猫。
外面，雪还在下。车棚里，六个人，六只猫，谁也不想走。

English (for the teacher)
Slowly, Grandpa walked over. Yangyang held up the torch, and everyone looked into the box.
Tofu was lying on Grandpa’s old police uniform, looking up at them. Curled against its tummy were five tiny kittens, fast asleep.
The smallest kitten was asleep in Grandpa’s police hat.
Teacher Zhao burst into tears. “Tofu! From now on, you can eat as many meals as you like!”
Auntie Qian sneezed again, but she couldn’t stop smiling. A-Liang said he’d get the camera fixed tomorrow. Yangyang took out a pen and started to draw. He said that when he’d finished, he would call his mum.
“Grandpa,” Lele whispered, “you’ve found your hat.”
Grandpa looked at the kitten in the hat for a long time. “Let it have the hat.” Then he said, “I was a policeman for thirty years. Today, it was my granddaughter who found it.”
Lele smiled. “You’ve never said that one before.”
She opened her notebook and, under the first question, wrote the answer:
One, everyone loves it. Two, it had five kittens in its tummy.
Outside, the snow was still falling. In the bike shed, six people and six cats, and nobody wanted to leave.
