乔纳斯八岁。他每个星期三都去爷爷家。爷爷很老,但是很有趣。他做饭很好吃,也喜欢读故事。

Jonas is eight. Every Wednesday he is at Grandpa’s. Grandpa is old, but funny. He cooks well, and he likes reading stories.

今天是星期三。乔纳斯按门铃。爷爷开门。“你好,乔纳斯!进来吧!”

Today is Wednesday. Jonas rings the bell. Grandpa opens the door. “Hello, Jonas! Come in!”

“你好,爷爷!你今天讲故事吗?”“好啊,”爷爷说。“但是我要先找我的眼镜。”

“Hello, Grandpa! Will you read a story today?” “Yes, gladly,” says Grandpa. “But first I need my glasses.”

爷爷在找。他在桌子上找。那里有报纸。那里有一杯茶。但是没有眼镜。

Grandpa looks. He looks on the table. There is the newspaper. There is a cup of tea. But there are no glasses.

“嗯,”爷爷说。“我的眼镜在哪儿?”

“Hm,” says Grandpa. “Where are my glasses?”

乔纳斯也在找。他在厨房里找。他打开冰箱。冰箱里有牛奶、奶酪和一个西红柿。但是没有眼镜。

Jonas looks too. He looks in the kitchen. He opens the fridge. In the fridge there is milk, cheese and a tomato. But no glasses.

爷爷在浴室里找。那里有他的牙刷。那里有他的梳子。但是没有眼镜。

Grandpa looks in the bathroom. There is his toothbrush. There is his comb. But there are no glasses.

“在花园里吗?”乔纳斯问。他们去花园。邻居的猫坐在那里。猫看着爷爷。爷爷看着猫。

“Maybe in the garden?” asks Jonas. They go into the garden. The neighbour’s cat is sitting there. The cat looks at Grandpa. Grandpa looks at the cat.

“你有我的眼镜吗?”爷爷问。猫什么也没说。它走开了。

“Have you got my glasses?” asks Grandpa. The cat says nothing. She walks away.

“猫没有眼镜,爷爷,”乔纳斯说。“猫看得很好。”

“Cats don’t have glasses, Grandpa,” says Jonas. “Cats see very well.”

“猫真好,”爷爷说。

“Lucky cats,” says Grandpa.
