Chapter 1 Casting Call Katie's class was putting on a play. "We're doing The Princess and the Frog," said Miss Winkle. "Hooray!" said Katie. "I want to be the princess!" "Me too!" yelled JoJo.

第一章 选角试镜 凯蒂的班级要排一出话剧。 “我们要演的是《公主与青蛙》。”温克尔老师说。 “太棒啦！”凯蒂喊道。 “我想演公主！” “我也想！”乔乔大叫道。

"I want to be the frog," said Pedro. "I'm a great hopper!" "The parts are on these cards," said Miss Winkle. "Pick one to see which part you get." Katie picked her card first. "Oh, no!" she groaned. "I'm not the princess. I'm a worm!"

“我想演青蛙。”佩德罗说。 “我跳得可厉害了！” “角色都写在这些卡片上。”温克尔老师说。 “每人抽一张，看看你拿到什么角色。” 凯蒂第一个抽了卡片。 “哦，不会吧！” 她嘟囔着。 我不是公主。 我是一只虫子！”

"I'm the princess!" yelled JoJo. "And I'm the frog!" said Pedro. "Good for you," said Katie. But she felt sad. "A worm cannot be a star," she sighed. Chapter 2 Katie Practices Katie told her dad, "It's no fun to be a worm. All I do is wiggle." Her dad said, "You are crafty, Katie. You'll be a great worm."

“我是公主！”乔乔大喊道。 “我是青蛙！”佩德罗说。 “真好呀。”凯蒂说。 可她心里很难过。 “虫子当不了明星的。”她叹了口气。 第二章 凯蒂练习 凯蒂跟爸爸说：“当虫子一点意思都没有。 我就只能扭来扭去的。” 爸爸说：“你鬼点子多呀，凯蒂。 你肯定能把虫子演得特别棒。”

Katie asked her mom, "What does crafty mean?" "It means clever," said her mom. "I know you will be the best worm you can be!" Katie tried to be a great worm. She worked hard on her wiggling. She wiggled forward, and she wiggled backward.

凯蒂问妈妈：“鬼点子多是什么意思呀？” “就是说你很聪明呀。”妈妈说。 “我知道你肯定能把虫子演得最好！” 凯蒂试着把虫子演好。 她努力练习扭来扭去的动作。 她往前扭，又往后扭。

Pedro and JoJo worked hard on their parts, too. JoJo told Pedro, "Don't forget to kiss me so you can turn into a prince." Pedro nodded. "Sure, sure." Chapter 3 Showtime! The big day came, and the curtain went up. "This is so exciting!" said Katie.

佩德罗和乔乔也在努力练自己的角色。 乔乔跟佩德罗说：“别忘了要亲我，这样你才能变成王子哦。” 佩德罗点点头。 “知道啦，知道啦。” 第三章 演出开始啦！ 重要的日子到了，幕布拉开了。 “好激动呀！”凯蒂说。
