我的书在哪儿?

Where is my book?

Name: ________________ Date: ________

早上七点,雯雯要去上学。可是,她的书呢?

“妈妈,我的书在哪儿?”

“在桌子上吗?”

桌子上有杯子,有手机,没有书。

“在书包里吗?”

书包里有一个面包,没有书。

“在床下边吗?”

床下边有很多东西,也没有书。

爸爸在电视前边找了找,在门后边也找了找。没有,哪儿都没有。

七点半了。雯雯坐在地上,不想说话了。

她看了看桌子下边。家里的小狗正在那儿睡觉。

“小狗,你起来一下。”

小狗起来了。它下边是什么?是她的书!

妈妈笑了:“它不是在睡觉,它在学习呢!”

English (for the teacher)

Seven in the morning, and Wenwen has to go to school. But where’s her book?

“Mum, where’s my book?”

“Is it on the table?”

On the table there’s a cup and a phone, but no book.

“Is it in your school bag?”

In the school bag there’s a bread roll, but no book.

“Is it under the bed?”

Under the bed there are lots of things, but no book either.

Dad has a look in front of the TV, and a look behind the door too. No. It isn’t anywhere.

Half past seven. Wenwen sits on the floor and doesn’t want to talk any more.

She looks under the table. The family’s little dog is asleep there.

“Little dog, get up a moment.”

The little dog gets up. And what’s underneath it? Her book!

Mum laughs: “It isn’t sleeping. It’s studying!”
