Chapter 1 The Perfect Pet One day, Miss Winkle asked, "Who would like to have a class pet?" "I would!" yelled everyone. "I want a pony," said Katie. "We could ride him at recess!"

第一章 完美的宠物 有一天，温克尔老师问：“谁想要一只班级宠物呀？” “我想！”大家都大声喊。 “我想要一匹小马，”凯蒂说。 “我们课间休息的时候还能骑他呢！”

"A pony is too big," said Miss Winkle. "We need a pet that fits in our room." "How about a rabbit?" asked JoJo. "Or a mouse," said Pedro. "I'll think about it," said Miss Winkle. A few days later, Miss Winkle came in with a cage. "Our class pet is inside," she said. "Can you guess what it is?" "A bunch of ants?" asked Pedro. "A skunk?" joked Barry.

“小马太大啦，”温克尔老师说。 “我们需要一只放得进教室的宠物。” “小兔子怎么样？”乔乔问。 “或者小老鼠也行，”佩德罗说。 “我会好好考虑的，”温克尔老师说。 几天之后，温克尔老师抱着一个笼子走进了教室。 “我们的班级宠物就在里面哦，”她说。 “你们能猜猜是什么吗？” “一群蚂蚁吗？”佩德罗问。 “是臭鼬吗？”巴里开玩笑说。

"Surprise!" said Miss Winkle. "It's a guinea pig." "He's so cute," said JoJo. "Let's name him Binky," said Katie. "The name is cute and little, like him." "Binky! Binky! Binky!" everyone shouted. "Binky it is!" said Miss Winkle.

“惊喜来啦！”温克尔老师说。 “是一只豚鼠哦。” “他好可爱呀，”乔乔说。 “我们给他取名叫宾奇吧，”凯蒂说。 “这个名字又可爱又小巧，就和他一样。” “宾奇！ 宾奇！ 宾奇！” 大家都喊了起来。 “那就叫宾奇啦！”温克尔老师说。

Chapter 2 Katie Takes Binky Home Binky let everyone hold him. He made happy, squeaky noises. He liked going to school. He loved music time best. He always squeaked along.

第二章 凯蒂带宾奇回家 宾奇愿意让每个人抱他。 他会发出开心的吱吱叫声。 他喜欢去学校。 他最喜欢音乐课。 他总是会跟着一起吱吱叫。

Every Friday, Miss Winkle took Binky home for the weekend. But one Friday, she said, "I'm going away this weekend. I need someone to take Binky home." "Me! Me! Me!" yelled everyone. Miss Winkle pulled a name from a hat. Katie Woo won! "Binky, I'll take good care of you," she promised.

每个周五，温克尔老师都会把宾奇带回家过周末。 但是有一个周五，她说：“这个周末我要出门。 我需要有人把宾奇带回家照顾。” “我！ 我！ 我！”大家都大喊起来。 温克尔老师从帽子里抽了一个名字。 凯蒂·伍中奖啦！ “宾奇，我会好好照顾你的，”她保证道。
