是爷爷吗？
Was it Grandpa?
Name: ________________ Date: ________
星期五早上，家里人都在吃早饭。妞妞打开本子，站起来说：“我知道是谁了！”
她看着爷爷：“饺子在你的门口，鱼头在你的门口。晚上，你的房间里有声音。今天早上，你拿着我的红杯子。爷爷，是你！”
爸爸看着妈妈，妈妈看着爷爷。
爷爷笑了：“对，是我。饺子是我吃的，鱼是我吃的，杯子是我拿的。我晚上也很喜欢唱歌。”
爸爸说：“好了，小侦探，快吃饭吧。”
妞妞没有吃。她看着本子，想起了星期三晚上。
“爷爷，你不吃鱼！”
没有人说话。
爷爷为什么说是他？他在帮谁？

English (for the teacher)
On Friday morning, the whole family was having breakfast. Niuniu opened her notebook, stood up and said, “I know who it is!”
She looked at Grandpa: “The dumpling was by your door, the fish head was by your door. At night, there’s a sound in your room. This morning, you were holding my red cup. Grandpa, it’s you!”
Dad looked at Mum, and Mum looked at Grandpa.
Grandpa smiled: “Yes, it was me. I ate the dumplings, I ate the fish, I took the cup. And I really like singing at night.”
Dad said, “All right, little detective, eat your breakfast.”
Niuniu didn’t eat. She looked at her notebook and remembered Wednesday evening.
“Grandpa, you don’t eat fish!”
Nobody said a word.
Why did Grandpa say it was him? Who was he helping?
