George's Brother

George's Brother George had no brothers and no sisters. “ I wish I had a brother or a sister, " George would always say. “ Maybe someday, ” replied Mom and Dad. “ I wish l had a brother or sister, ” George told Grandma. “ Maybe you could sponsor a child, ” suggested Grandma. “ What does that mean?” asked George. “ You could send money to help a child in a poor country. Your money would help them buy food and clothes, and go to school. ” Grandma continued, " You could give the money from your allowance. And I could give the rest. That way, you would have the brother or sister you always wanted. And I would have another grandchild. "

乔治的哥哥 乔治没有兄弟姐妹。“我希望我有一个兄弟或姐妹，”乔治总是这样说。 “也许有一天吧，”爸爸妈妈回答。 “我希望我有个哥哥或妹妹，”乔治对奶奶说。 “也许你可以资助一个孩子。”奶奶建议。 “这是什么意思?”乔治问。 “你可以寄钱去帮助一个贫穷国家的孩子。你的钱可以帮他们买吃的、穿的、上学的。 ”奶奶继续。“你可以从零用钱里拿出钱来。剩下的我可以给你。那样的话，你就能拥有你一直缠着的兄弟姐妹了。我还会有另一个孙子。”

George liked this idea. With Grandma, he wrote a let-ter to Sponsor a Child. One day, George got an envelope in the mail. Inside was a picture of a boy named Niawat who lived in a country far, far away. “ This is my brother, ” said George, showing the picture to everyone. George wrote a letter to Niawat and Niawat wrote back. They were both happy to be brothers in a special way.

乔治喜欢这个主意。他和奶奶一起写了一封信给“赞助一个孩子”。 一天。乔治收到了一个信封。里面是一个名叫Niawat的男孩的照片，他住在一个很远很远的国家。 “这是我哥哥，”乔治说着，把照片给大家看。乔治给Niawat写了一封信，Niawat回信了。他们都很高兴以一种特殊的方式成为兄弟。
