X星球系列故事 第5期:The Hippo and I

 The Hippo and I 我与河马

A hippo lives in the zoo. I like him very much. I often go to see him. He often thinks of me, too. Today is Sunday. It is a fine day. I go to see him again. After I leave the zoo, he follows me to my house. I give him lettuce¹ cabbages,bananas, apples and other food. He eats them up. When I sing songs, he stays in the pool. He is as quiet as a rabbit. In the evening, he jumps onto my bed with me. My mum tells him to go home. He has to pack his bag and go back to the zoo. My mum lets me see him every week.

河马住在动物园里，我很喜欢他。我经常去看它，他也经常想我。 今天是星期日，是个好天气，我又一次去看望它。在我离开动物园之后，他跟随到我的家。我给他莴苣、生菜、香蕉、苹果和其他食物。他都吃了。 当我唱歌时，它待在水池里，像兔子一样安静。 晚上，他跳到床上同我一起睡。 妈妈要它回家。它不得不背起包回到动物园。妈妈允许我每周去看它。
