尼基醒来的时候，闻到了一股很香的味道。 这股香味是什么呀？ 这味道可真香。 尼基醒了。

It was beef stew. I am making lots of stew, said his mother. Would you like to ask a friend for supper? Yes! Nikki shouted. He ran off to school to find a friend. A friend who liked beef stew.

是炖牛肉的味道。 “我炖了好多牛肉哦。”妈妈说。 “你要不要叫个朋友来家里吃晚饭呀？” “好呀！” 尼基大喊道。 他一路跑去学校找朋友。 找个爱吃炖牛肉的朋友。

At school, Nicky saw Alec. Alec was his best friend. Can you come for supper? asked Nicky. Sorry, said Alec. I have to go to the dentist. Hmm. Nicky was very happy to see Alec.

在学校，尼基见到了亚历克，他是尼基最好的朋友。 “你能来我家吃晚饭吗？”尼基问。 “对不起哦。”亚历克说。 “我得去看牙医。” 唉。 尼基本来见到亚历克可开心了。

At lunch, Nicky went to sit with Carla. Can you come for supper? It's beef stew! Carla shook her head. I like hot dogs. I like burgers. I like pizza. But I do not like beef stew.

午饭的时候，尼基坐到了卡拉身边。 “你能来我家吃晚饭吗？” “有炖牛肉哦！” 卡拉摇了摇头。 “我爱吃热狗。” “我爱吃汉堡。” “我爱吃披萨。” “但我不爱吃炖牛肉。”

Shh! Don't growl! Later, Nicky went to the library. Mr. Blake found just the right book for him. So, Nicky asked Mr. Blake to come for supper. Mr. Blake was sorry, but he could not come. My family is going to eat out tonight.

嘘！别噘嘴生气啦！ 后来，尼基去了图书馆。 布莱克先生刚好给他找到了合适的书。 于是尼基邀请布莱克先生来家里吃晚饭。 布莱克先生很抱歉，他没法来。 “我们家今晚要出去吃饭。”
