44. The Dog Ah Fu

小狗阿福

One day my parents went to work in the fields, and my little sister and our dog, called Ah Fu, went with them. While my parents were working, my sister ran along the river and Ah Fu followed her. She found a flower in the water and was trying to pick it when she fell into the river.

一天，爸爸、妈妈去地里干活，妹妹和我们家养的小狗阿福也跟着去了。当爸爸和妈妈干活时，妹妹沿着河奔跑玩耍，阿福跟在她的后面。妹妹发现河里有一枝花并打算拣起花，不小心掉到了河里。

Ah Fu barked to my parents and then jumped into the water. When my parents ran to the river, they saw Ah Fu carrying my sister to the bank. My father, full of thanks, patted Ah Fu on the head. It was brave Ah Fu who saved my sister. Animals are friends of human beings sometimes. We should cherish them.

阿福先对着我父母吠叫，然后跳进河里。当父母赶到河边时，看见阿福正带着妹妹游向河岸。爸爸充满感激地拍拍阿福的头。正是勇敢的阿福救了妹妹。动物有时是人类的朋友，我们要爱护动物。
