故事英文原文
《Beef Stew》
When Nicky woke up,
he smelled something good.
What was that good smell?
It was beef stew!
“I am making lots of stew.” said his mother.
“Would you like to ask a friend for supper?”
“Yes!” Nicky shouted.
He ran off to school to find a friend—a friend who liked beef stew.
At school Nicky saw Alec.
Alec was his best friend.
“Canyou come for supper?” asked Nicky.
“Sorry,”said Alec. “I have to go to the dentist.”
At lunch, Nicky went to sit with Carla.
“Can you come for supper? It’s beef stew.”
Carla shook her head. “I like hot dogs and burgers and pizza.
But I do not like beef stew!”
Later Nicky went to the library.
Mr. Blake found just the right book for him.
So Nicky asked Mr. Blake to come for supper.
Mr. Blake was sorry, but he could not come.
“My family is going to eat out tonight.”
On the way home,
Nicky looked for a friend to come for supper.
But he did not find anyone who liked beef stew.
Nicky turned the corner, there was a friend!
“Hi,Officer Gabel,” Nicky shouted.
“Can you come for supper?” asked Nicky.
“It’s beef stew.”
But Officer Gabel could not come.
“There’s a party at the station tonight.”
Nicky headed down the street.
Nicky saw the garbage man.
But the garbage man never said hello.
He was not a friend.
And Nicky did not ask him for supper.
Now Nicky was almost home.
And he felt sad.
He kicked a pebble down the street.
“No one wants to come for supper tonight.
No one wants to eat beef stew,” Nicky said to himself.
“Boy! Do you look sad!” someone said.
Nicky looked up. It was Mr. Cone.
“Maybe this will cheer you up.”
Mr. Cone handed Nicky a post card.
Nicky read the post card.
He started jumping up and down. “Hooray!”
“Bye, Mr. Cone!” Nicky called.
Nicky ran all through town,
past the police station, past the garbage truck, past his school.
Nicky ran all the way to the train station.
A train was pulling in. People got off.
Nicky saw her right away, he rushed up to her.
His grandma hugged him.
“What a surprise!” she said.
“I see you got my post card.”
And that is how Nicky brought a friend home for supper.
A friend who liked beef stew!
故事中文翻译
《牛肉羹》
Nicky醒来的时候，
闻到一阵香味。
是什么闻上去这么香呀？
是炖牛肉！
“我做了许多炖牛肉。”他的妈妈说。
“你想邀请一位朋友来吃晚饭吗？”
“当然！”Nicky喊道。
他跑到学校去邀请一位朋友一同吃晚饭—一位喜欢炖牛肉的朋友。
在学校Nicky遇见了Alec。
Alec是Nicky最好的朋友。
“你能来我家一起吃晚饭吗？”Nicky问道。
“抱歉，今晚我得去看牙医。”Alec说。
吃中饭的时候，Nicky和Carla坐在同一张桌子。
“你能来我家吃晚饭吗？妈妈做了炖牛肉。”
Carla摇了摇头，“我喜欢吃热狗，汉堡和披萨，
但是我不喜欢吃炖牛肉。”
之后Nicky去了图书馆.
Blake先生帮Nicky找到了他正想要的书
于是Nicky邀请Blake先生一同吃晚饭
Blake先生非常抱歉，但他去不了
“我的家人今晚要一起出去吃饭。”
回家路上，
Nicky仍在寻找可以一同吃晚饭的朋友。
但他找不到一位喜欢吃炖牛肉的朋友。
Nicky转了个弯，那儿还有一位朋友！
“你好，Gabel警官，”Nicky喊道。
“你能来我家吃晚饭吗？Nicky问到。
晚饭是炖牛肉哦！”
但是Gabel警官也去不了，
“我要参加警局为我举办的派对。”
继续沿着大街向前走。
Nicky遇到了清洁工。
但是清洁工从来不和他打招呼。
因此他称不上一位朋友。
Nicky便没有邀请他
Nicky快到家了。
他感觉有些伤心。
他踢着路边的小石子。
“没有人想和我一起吃晚饭，
没有人想吃炖牛肉。”Nicky自言自语道.
“小家伙！你看起来不大高兴呀！”有个声音说道。
Nicky抬头看，那是Cone先生在说话。
“也许这个可以让你高兴点儿。”
Cone先生把一张明信片递给Nicky。
Nicky读了明信片。
他高兴地跳上跳下“耶！”
“再见，Cone先生!”Nicky喊道。
Nicky穿过整个小镇，
跑过警察局、垃圾车，经过他的学校。
一直跑到火车站。
一辆火车正在进站，人们正在下车。
Nicky一下就找到她了，他径直跑向她
他的外婆拥抱了他。
“多么令人意外呀！”她说。
“我知道了，你一定是收到了我的明信片。”
就这样Nicky找到了一位可以带回家吃晚饭的朋友。
一位喜欢吃炖牛肉的朋友！
