The Boss

The Boss.

小老板。

It was Sunday morning. Mom was sick in bed. Mom needs more orange juice, Dad said. I'll go to the store and get some for her. I'll be right back. Be good while I'm gone.

周日的早上，妈妈卧病在床。 爸爸说："妈妈还需要点橙汁，我去商店给她买，很快就回来。" 我不在的时候你们要乖哦。

Dad is gone, said my big brother. Now I'm the boss. I want to be the boss, said my little sister. We can take turns. You go first, I told my big brother.

哥哥说："爸爸走了，现在我是老大。" 妹妹说："我也想当老大。" 我跟哥哥说："我们可以轮流当，你先来。"

Okay, he said, let's make breakfast for mom. Let's make her some toast. I put peanut butter on the toast. My brother put grape jelly on top. Then my sister added chocolate chips. Mom can eat the toast when she wakes up, said my brother.

他说："好呀，我们给妈妈做早餐吧，给她烤点面包。我来抹" 花生酱在面包上，哥哥在上面涂了葡萄果酱，然后妹妹" 又加了巧克力豆。哥哥说："等妈妈醒了就可以吃啦。"

Now it's my turn to be the boss, I said. Let's make a card for Mom. My brother got some paper, and I got the paint. We wrote, Get well, Mom. My sister painted flowers. She got some blue paint on the card. She got some blue paint in her hair.

我说："现在轮到我当老大啦。" 我们给妈妈做一张贺卡吧。 哥哥拿了纸，我拿了颜料。 我们写了："妈妈，快点好起来呀。" 妹妹画了好多小花。 她把蓝色颜料蹭到了贺卡上。 还把蓝色颜料弄到了头发上。

My turn, said my little sister. Now I'm the boss. I want balloons for mom. My brother and I just smiled. Our little sister loved balloons. My brother got a balloon and blew it up. Bigger, my sister shouted. So he blew some more. He blew and blew until...

妹妹说："轮到我啦，现在我是老大，我要给妈妈准备气球。我" 和哥哥相视一笑，我们的小妹妹最爱的就是气球了。哥哥拿了个" 气球开始吹，妹妹喊："再大点再大点。"于是他接着吹，吹啊吹啊" 一直吹到……
