Pat and Mommy are singing in the kitchen.

佩特和媽媽在廚房唱歌。

Pat

I like that song. Can we sing another one?

Mommy

Yes, we can. But we should try to sing quietly. Daddy and Lee need quiet so they can work on Lee’s homework.

Pat

All right. Why don’t we sing the birthday song?

Mommy

We can’t sing that, Pat. We only sing the birthday song when it’s someone’s birthday. It’s nobody’s birthday today.

Pat

Okay. I’ll wait until my birthday on Wednesday to sing Happy Birthday.

Mommy

No, Pat. You won’t sing Happy Birthday at your party. Only your friends and our family will sing it. Everybody will sing the birthday song to you because it’s your birthday.

Pat

Oh, so what will I do?

Mommy

You will only listen. Then, when we finish singing, we’ll give everybody a plate of your birthday cake and a glass of orange-juice.

Pat

And then what will we do?

Mommy

Then, you can open your presents. Do you think you will have a lot of presents?

Pat

I hope so. I think I will. Someone told me that a lot of my friends have presents for me already.

Mommy

That’s nice. Remember to tell all your friends that you really like the presents they give you. If someone thinks you don’t like the present they give you, they will not be happy.

Pat

All right, I’ll do that. I want all my friends to have a really good time at my party. Will we play some games, too?

Mommy

Oh yes, I think so. We never have a children’s party where we don’t play lots of games.

Pat

Oh, good. All my friends really like party games.

Mommy

What about Lee’s friends?

Pat

Lee’s friends are all boys. They never play with us girls. They don’t like our games.

Mommy

Well, I hope Lee’s friends will play with your friends at the party. I want all the children to have a good time and play together.

我喜歡那首歌，我們可以再唱一遍嗎？

媽媽

可以。但是我們必須輕輕地唱。爸爸和李在一起做家庭作業 ，他們需要安靜。

佩特

好的，為什麼不唱生日歌呢？

媽媽

我們不能唱那首歌，佩特。只有在別人生日的那天才可以唱生日歌。今天沒人過生日。

佩特

好吧。那我等我星期三過生日那天再唱生日快樂歌。

媽媽

不，佩特。你在生日聚會上不需要唱這個。只有你的朋友和家人才會唱生日快樂歌。所有人都會對你唱生日快樂，因為那一天是你的生日。

佩特

噢，那我要做什麼呢？

媽媽

你只用聽著就行。然後等我們唱完了歌，每個人都會有一份蛋糕和一杯橙汁。

佩特

再然後呢？

媽媽

然後你可以拆禮物了。你覺得你會有很多禮物嗎？

佩特

希望如此。我覺得我會的。有人跟我說我的許多朋友都為我準備了禮物。

媽媽

好極了。記住告訴所有的朋友你很喜歡他們送你的禮物。如果有人覺得你不喜歡他送的禮物，他會不開心的。

佩特

好吧，我會那樣做的。我想所有的朋友都能在聚會上玩得開心。到時候我們也會玩遊戲嗎？

媽媽

是的，應該是。所有孩子的聚會都會玩許多遊戲的。

佩特

噢，好的。我朋友都很喜歡聚會上的遊戲。

媽媽

那李的朋友怎麼辦?

佩特

李的朋友都是男生，他們不和女生玩。他們不喜歡我們的遊戲。
