Scruff

Scruff.

斯卡夫。

One day, Tina and Rita found a dog. She was sitting at their door. Doggy, said Rita. Cool, said Tina. Shoo, said Mum. But the dog did not shoo. She ran into their house.

有一天，蒂娜和丽塔发现了一只小狗。 她正蹲在他们家的门口。 小狗狗~丽塔喊。 太酷啦。蒂娜说。 去去去。妈妈说。 可小狗不肯走。 她跑进了他们家里。

She wants to be our dog said Tina. Can we keep her? No said mum. She has her own family. Look at her tag. Her name is Scruff. Mum looked at the dog. I can see why she's called Scruff. She said there was a phone number on the tag too. Mum phoned the number but no one answered so she left a message. Just then their cat Ginger meowed. Scruff was eating Ginger's dinner. Bad dog said Rita.

她想当我们的狗狗呀，蒂娜说。我们能留下她吗？不行哦，妈妈说，她有自己的 家人呀。你看她的项圈牌，她叫斯卡夫。妈妈看了看小狗，我知道 她为什么叫斯卡夫了。妈妈说，牌牌上还有个电话号码呢。 妈妈打了这个号码，但是没人接，所以她留了言。就在这时，他们家的 小猫金吉儿喵了一声。斯卡夫正在吃金吉儿的晚饭。坏狗狗。丽塔说。

She wants some food said Tina. Mum put some food down for Scruff. There you go, you Scruffy Dog, she said. Ginger looked cross. Then Scruff got into Ginger's bed. Meow! Cry Ginger, looking even more cross. You bad little dog, said Mum. That bed belongs to Ginger.

她想吃点东西呢，蒂娜说。妈妈给斯卡夫放了些吃的。 给你吃吧，你这小脏狗。妈妈说。金吉儿看起来气鼓鼓的。 然后斯卡夫钻进了金吉儿的小窝。喵！ 金吉儿叫着，看起来更生气了。 你这坏小狗，妈妈说，那个小窝是金吉儿的。

Later, Dad came home. He looked at Scruff. Who is this Scruffy Dog? He asked. It's Scruff, said Rita. I can see that, said Dad. At dinner, Dad's food went missing. Where's my food gone? He asked. Scruff was eating it. You bad dog, said Tina.

过了一会儿，爸爸回家了，他看了看斯卡夫。 这只小脏狗是谁呀？他问。 是斯卡夫呀。丽塔说。 我看出来了。爸爸说。 吃晚饭的时候，爸爸的食物不见了。 我的食物去哪了？他问。 斯卡夫正在吃呢。 你这坏狗狗。蒂娜说。

No one phoned back about Scruff. Tina was pleased but mum was not. She put a notice in the newspaper. If no one phones about Scruff can I keep her? Tina asked mum. No said mum. If no one phones we'll take her to the animal shelter. Please! cried Tina. No said mum. We don't want a dog not a scruffy bad one like Scruff. Found little dog named Scruff. Please call 559876

没人回电话问斯卡夫的事。蒂娜可开心了，但妈妈不开心。她登了一则 启事到报纸上。如果没人打电话找斯卡夫，我能留下她吗？蒂娜问 妈妈。不行哦，妈妈说，如果没人打电话来，我们就要把她送到动物收容所去。求求你了！ 蒂娜哭着说。不行，妈妈说，我们不要狗，尤其是斯卡夫这样脏兮兮的坏小狗。 捡到小狗一只，名叫斯卡夫，请致电559876
