Hold That Thought

Hold That Thought Kate and Susan are best friends. Like most friends, they have a lot of things in common. “ My cat is so funny! ” Kate told Susan. " Today…" Just then, Susan broke in, " I have a cat too! She's orange. " Kate didn't like how Susan had interrupted her. It made Kate feel like her words were not important Kate's mom understood. She told Kate that stepping on others'words was a bad habit, kind of like sucking your thumb.

等会再说 凯特和苏珊是最好的朋友。最喜欢的朋友,他们有很多共同之处。 “我的猫太有趣了!”凯特告诉苏珊。“今天…… 就在这时，苏珊插嘴说:“我也有一只猫!她是橙色。” 凯特不喜欢苏珊打断她的话。这让凯特觉得她的话不重要。 凯特的妈妈理解。她告诉凯特，打断别人的话语是一个坏习惯，有点像吮吸你的拇指。

Kate remembered how hard it had been to  stop sucking her thumb. She also remembered how her mom's gentle reminders had helped. The next day, Susan broke in again while Kate was talking. “ Susan, when you interrupt me like that, it hurts my feelings. ” “ I'm sorry, Kate. I didn't know. ” With Kate's help, Susan learned to hold her thoughts until it was her turn to talk. She became a great listener, and the two girls became even better friends.

凯特记得那有多难别再吮她的拇指了。她还记得妈妈温柔的提醒是如何帮助她的。第二天，当凯特在说话时，苏珊又插嘴了。 “苏珊，当你那样打断我的时候，我很受伤。”“对不起,凯特。我不知道。 在凯特的帮助下，苏珊学会了控制自己的思想，直到轮到她说话。她成为了一个很好的倾听者，两个女孩成为了更好的朋友。
