I Love My Little Cat! 我愛我的小貓! (第二章)

這個故事寫成好幾年了，我以前也貼過，但我一直在修改，我精益求精，我鐵杵磨針，嘿嘿。

Rhyming story 很不好寫，累死了我不少的腦細胞！

我比較得意的是這個新版本加了幾個新的Verse段，說的更清楚些，比如：咪咪不會說話。從她的眼中我讀懂她的表達。它們是那麽的天真無邪，從來不會說謊做假。我又加了Mei Ling 心裏想的、可愛的小心思：也許咪咪的爪子有些癢，所以她抓撓我的椅子。對於我來說，坐抓破的椅子沒關係、沒問題。但是對於爸爸媽媽來說有問題。家長們都十分在意東西。我必須想出一個好注意，讓咪咪的行為彬彬有禮！

I Love My Little Cat! 我愛我的小貓! (第二章)

2 You are Welcome,Mimi

During thevery first day,

I didn’t see my new cat.

Was she hungry or thirsty?

I was worried about that.

 

During the second day,

Did Mimi eat alright?

She didn’t eat a bit

But she drank water atnight.

 

When the third day was dark,

She cautiously came out.

She ate a bit of cat food

And quietly walkedabout.

 

When the fourth day was bright,

She began to explore.

I happily followed her,

Opening each room’s door.

 

I opened each closet wide,

Even each drawer for her.

Mimi sniffed everywhere and

Finally let me stroke her fur.

 

The black part was like dark ink.

The white part was like pure milk.

It felt smooth under my palm.

Her fur was like the best silk!

 

“Mimi, in the whole world,

You’re the most beautiful cat!”

Her tail moved up and down. 

She totally agreed with that.

 

“Lunch time, Lunch time,”

Mom opened the kitchen door.

I stopped doing cat massage.

Mimi rose from the floor.

 

Mom, Dad and I wereeating lunch.

We were all in a good mood.

Mimi jumped up on my lap.

She wanted to eat my food.

 

Kittens can’t eat people’s food.

I learned that from a book.

Some seasonings that can harm them

Are in what weoften cook.

 

I went to Mimi’s plate and

Took some cat food, with a smile.

I pretended to eat it.

She stared at me for a while.

 

“Mimi, your food is yummy.

I eat the same thing as you.”

Looking at medoubtfully,

She wondered if it was true.

 

Mimi went to her plate.

Slowly, she paused for thought.

Then, chewing and gulping,

She ate her food, a lot.

 

My mom was very happy

And gave Mimi a cat treat.

She swiftly ate it and then

Lay down beside my feet.

 

She began to lick her paw

And carefully wipe her face.

What a clean little kitten!

Mimi has natural grace!

 

A few minutes later,

Mimi did something bad.

She started to scratch my chair.

Mom was a little bit mad.

 

“Stop, Mimi. You’re so naughty,”

Mom’s voice quivered in the air.

Mimi suddenly stopped and

Lifted her claws from my chair.

 

Slowly and unhappily,

Her big furry tail shook.

Did I do something wrong?

She wore a confused look.

 

I was just sharpening mynails.

Why was Mom so upset?

How do I use nailclippers?

Mei Ling hasn’t taughtme yet.

 

Mimi couldn’t say anything.

I read it from her eyes.

They’re so pure and innocent,

And never ever tell lies.

 

Maybe, Mimi’s nails were itchy,

So she had to scratch the chair.

For me, sitting on a scratched chairs

Is okay, I don’t really care.

 

But Mom and Dad seemed to care.

Parents always care about stuff.

I must come upwith an idea

To make Mimi’s behavior good enough!

 

My eyes suddenly lit up.

I was excited, a bit.

We just bought a doormat

With the word “Welcome” on it.

 

I carefully put Mimi

On the brand new welcome mat.

Today, I was important —

The smart teacher of my cat.

 

Pointing to each letter,

I said and took her paw,

“W, E, L, C, O, M, E, welcome.”

My student, Mimi learned with awe.

 

Then, I taught herto scratch the mat

After she knew“Welcome”, I thought.

She scratched the mat! She learned it!

What a smart little cat I got!

 

Mimi scratched very hard.

I cheerfully said to her,

“You are welcome, Mimi.”

She purred a happy purr.

 

2今天，我十分重要！

第一天，我的小貓在哪，

我根本不知道。

她渴不渴，餓不餓？

我有些心焦。

 

第二天咪咪吃飯好不好？

我為她把心操。

她夜裏喝了一些水，

她的飯一點沒見少。

 

當第三天夜幕降臨，

她小心翼翼地出來了。

她吃了一些食物，

悄悄地四處走走瞧瞧。

 

第四天的一大早，

她開始對新家進行探索察看。

我高興地跟在她的後麵，

打開每一個房間。

 

我打開每一個壁櫃，

甚至每一個抽屜為我的小貓。

咪咪聞聞這嗅嗅那，

終於讓我撫弄她的毛毛。

 

它白的部分象奶一樣純潔，

它黑的部分似墨一樣黑暗。

我的手掌摸起來，

她的皮毛象絲綢一樣滑軟！

 

“咪咪，在這個世界上，

你是最美麗的小貓。”

她的尾巴上下搖搖。

她完全同意我的論調。

 

“吃午飯了，吃午飯了，”

媽媽打開廚房門。

我停止貓按摩。

咪咪從地板上起身。

 

爸爸、媽媽和我在吃午飯。

我們的心情十分愉快。

咪咪跳到我的腿上。

她想吃我盤中的飯菜。

 

貓貓們不能吃人的飯，

從一本書中，我曾讀到。

我們飯中的一些調味品

對它們的身體不好。

 

我走去咪咪的盤邊,

笑著取來了一些貓糧。

我假裝吃它們。

她不住地盯著我打量。

 

“咪咪，你的飯很香。

我吃的和你的一樣。”

她疑惑地看著我，

好象在琢磨是否我在說慌。

 

咪咪走向她的盤子。

她慢慢地停下來思索。

然後，她大口吃她的貓糧，

她吃了很多很多。

 

我的媽媽很高興，

給咪咪一把小貓零嘴。

她快速地吃罷，

然後躺下，靠著我的腿。

 

她開始舔她的小爪，

在臉上擦了又擦。

講衛生愛幹淨的小貓！

咪咪天生斯文高雅！

 

過了一會兒，

咪咪把壞事來搞。

她開始抓我的椅子。

媽媽有些氣惱。

 

“停下，咪咪。你太淘氣啦，”

媽媽的聲音在空氣中顫抖。

咪咪突然停下來，

小爪從我的椅子上移走。

 

害羞地、無辜地，

她毛絨絨的大尾巴搖搖。

我做錯了什麽嗎？

她有些莫名其妙。

 

我隻是磨了磨指甲。

媽媽為何如此氣惱？

如何使用指甲刀，

美靈還沒教。

 

咪咪不會說話。

從她的眼中我讀懂她的表達。

它們是那麽的天真無邪，

從來不會說謊做假。

 

也許咪咪的爪子有些癢，

所以她抓撓我的椅子。

對於我來說，

坐抓破的椅子沒關係、沒問題。

 

但是對於爸爸媽媽來說有問題。

家長們都十分在意東西。

我必須想出一個好注意，

讓咪咪的行為彬彬有禮！

 

我的眼睛突然一亮。

我有些激動不已。

新買的擦鞋腳墊，

上麵印有“歡迎”二字。

 

我小心地把咪咪

在嶄新的歡迎腳墊上放好。

我是聰明的貓老師，

今天，我十分重要。

 

我拿起她的小爪子，

指著每一個字母，

“W, E, L, C, O, M, E, welcome，歡迎。”

我的學生，咪咪的神情認真專注。

 

她已經認識了歡迎一詞。

然後，我教她在腳墊上抓撓。

她抓了！她學會了！

我有一隻多麽聰明的小貓！

 

咪咪使勁地抓呀抓。

我歡快地對她說道，

“歡迎你，咪咪。”

她快樂地咕嚕咕嚕叫。
