哦，不！現在，雞在房子裡。它們正繞著廚房跑，它們還繞著客廳跑。一隻雞在電視機上，其餘雞在椅子上。“這可不妙！”佩特說，“如果雞繞著房子跑會弄髒它的！”

Now, there are five chickens running around the house, and Pat is right – they are making the house dirty.Lee and Pat run after the chickens. They chase the chickens around the living room, and they chase them around the kitchen, too.The children chase the chickens out of the kitchen.They make them go out of the living room, too.

現在有五隻雞正繞著房子跑，佩特是對的——雞正在把房子搞髒。李和佩特追趕著雞。他們繞著客廳追趕雞，而且他們還繞著廚房追趕雞。孩子們把雞趕出廚房。孩子們還把雞趕出客廳。

Lee and Pat chase all the chickens out of the house.They make the chickens go into the garden again.“Don’t come in the house again!” Pat says to the chickens.“If you come in the house, you will make it dirty.Don’t do that again!”

李和佩特把所有雞趕出房子。他倆又讓雞去花園。“不要再進房子！”佩特對雞說，“如果你們進房子會弄髒房子。不要再這樣做！”

“We don’t want the house to be dirty,” says Pat.“Chickens can only go in the chicken house, or they can run around the garden.They cannot come in the house.We will not let the chickens come in the house.If the chickens come into the house, they will make the house dirty.They will make the living room dirty.They will make the chairs and television dirty.They will make the kitchen dirty, too.If the chickens come in the house again, we will chase them out again.”

“我們不想房子變髒，”佩特說，“雞要麼就待在雞舍裡，要麼繞著花園跑。雞不能進屋。我們不會讓雞進屋。如果雞進屋它們就會弄髒房子。它們會弄髒客廳。它們會弄髒椅子和電視機。它們還會弄髒廚房。如果雞再進房子，我們會再把雞趕出去。”

No, she doesn’t.But sometimes, Lee’s chickens come into the house.They run all around the house, go into all the rooms and make them very dirty.

Daddy

That’s not good.Please ask Lee and Pat not to let Lee’s chickens and Pat’s duck come into the house.Our house is only for people.It is not for chickens and ducks!

媽媽

我真喜歡我們現在的房子。這是一棟很好的房子。

爸爸

你為什麼喜歡它？

媽媽

我喜歡它是因為現在我們有一棟帶大花園的大房子，還有一個大客廳和一個大廚房。我真喜歡我們的大廚房。

爸爸

是的，我們現在有一棟很大的好房子。我們還有好孩子。

媽媽

是的。我們有好孩子。我們的孩子是善良的孩子。他們對人友好，而且他們對動物也友善。我們的孩子現在知道怎樣照顧動物了。

爸爸

是的，可是我們的孩子也得知道怎樣打理房子。請讓他們打理房子，不要弄髒房子。

媽媽

是的，我會的。我會讓李和佩特不要讓動物進房子。如果動物進房子，它們會弄髒房子。

爸爸

佩特沒有讓她的鴨子進房子吧，對吧？

媽媽

是的，她沒有。不過有時候，李的雞會進房子。雞圍繞著房子跑，跑進所有房間，把房間弄得很髒。

爸爸

那可不行。請叫李和佩特不要讓李的雞和佩特的鴨子進屋。我們的房子只能進人，不進雞鴨。
