《大红狗克利福德的快乐母亲节》 作者：诺曼·伯德韦尔

When I was little, my family lived in the city. My dog Clifford was born in the apartment next door. He was the smallest puppy in the litter.

我小时候，我们一家住在城市里。 我的狗狗克利福德就出生在隔壁的公寓里。 他是整窝小狗里个头最小的那只。

Because he was so small, his mother took special care of him. That's me, Emily Elizabeth. One day our neighbor called us. He wanted to give me a puppy. He told me to choose one.

因为他太小了，狗妈妈对他格外照顾。 我就是艾米丽·伊丽莎白。 有一天邻居给我们打电话。 他想送我一只小狗。 让我自己挑一只。

You know which one I took. When Mother's Day came, Clifford and I wanted to get something special for my mom.

你们肯定知道我挑了哪只。 母亲节到了，我和克利福德想给妈妈准备点特别的礼物。

Daddy took us to the candy store to get her some chocolates. While I was choosing chocolates, Clifford saw a ribbon on a box of candy.

爸爸带我们去糖果店给她买巧克力。 我正在挑巧克力的时候，克利福德看到一盒糖果上系着丝带。

Clifford loves to play with ribbons. Oh dear! We decided to buy the candy Clifford chose.

克利福德可喜欢玩丝带啦。 哦天哪！ 我们决定就买克利福德选中的这盒糖果。
