Klas: Good morning, May. Good girl, you are reading English books again.

May: Good morning. There is no reason to miss so beautiful a morning. Is that a new bird?

Klas: Oh, yes, my daughter bought it yesterday. We call her Lulu.

May: It looks so cute. Is it a parrot?

Klas: Yes. Just look at her colorful feathers. What else can it be?

May: I see. It's interesting that there is also a parrot in my English book. His mane is Polly.

Klas: Really? A foreign parrot!

May: He can speak English, too.

Klas: Maybe you can teach Lulu some English words.

May: Lulu. Lulu. Say “hello”. “hello”. Oh, she is so smart. Good bird.

Klas: You are a good teacher. Okay, I am gonna play some chess now. Just go back to your book.

Lulu: Hello. Hello. Hello.

Klas: Haha. After all, she is just a bird.

克劳斯：阿美，早上好。真是好孩子，又在读英语了！

阿美：早上好。没有理由错过这么美丽的早晨。那是只新鸟吗？

克劳斯：哦，是的，我女儿昨天给我买的。我们叫它鲁鲁。

阿美：它看起来真可爱。它是只鹦鹉吗？

克劳斯：是的。你看它多彩的羽毛，还能是别的什么鸟吗？

阿美：知道了。真有趣，我的英语书里也有一只鹦鹉。它的名字是波利。

克劳斯：真的吗？一只外国鹦鹉！

阿美：它也会说英语哦。

克劳斯：也许你可以教鲁鲁几个英语单词啊。

阿美：鲁鲁，鲁鲁，说“哈喽”“哈喽”。哦，它真聪明。真是只好鸟。

克劳斯：你是个好老师。好了，我要去下象棋了。你继续读书吧。

鲁鲁：“哈喽”“哈喽”“哈喽”。

克劳斯：哈哈，它毕竟只是一只鸟啊。

Klas: I like birds especially the parrot which is really cute and smart. My daughter just got me a parrot days ago. We call her Lulu. Lulu is so smart that she can even say some English words. The only problem is that Lulu can't find the right time to say these words, but it also brings us a lot of fun.
