54. Helping an Old Woman

帮助老奶奶

Jane and Peter, her younger brother, come from America. They are now studying in China because their parents are working here. They learn what Chinese children learn in school and they like to talk in Chinese.

珍妮和她弟弟彼得来自美国，由于他们的父母来中国工作，他们也来中国读书。他们在学校与中国学生一起学习，他们喜欢讲中文。

One day on the way back home they saw an old woman walking in front of them. She was carrying a basket filled with oranges in her right hand, and a stick, in her left hand. 一天，在回家的路上，他们看见一个老太太在前面走，右手提着一蓝橘子，左手拿着拐杖。

Suddenly, the old woman slipped and fell on a piece of banana skin someone had left carelessly on the ground. When Jane and Peter saw what had happened, they looked at each other. "What should we do?" Peter was quicker than his sister. He burst out in Chinese, "Learn from Lei Feng!" They rushed up to the old woman. Peter helped her up while Jane picked up the oranges and put them back in the basket. The old woman thanked Jane and Peter. She also praised them for being such helpful children.

突然老人踩在一块丢在地上的香蕉皮滑倒了。珍妮和彼得看着所发生的一切，互相看了一眼，“我们该怎么办？” 彼得比他姐姐快，用中文冲口而出：“向雷锋学习！”他们跑向前，彼得帮老人站起来，珍妮拣起地上的橘子放回篮子。老太太感谢珍妮和彼得，称赞他们是助人为乐的好孩子。
