A Sunday Morning at the Park

On a Sunday morning, three friends set off for the park together, but one of them is starving, so food comes first.

Before Setting Off

星期天早上,天气很好。小美打电话给两个朋友。

xīngqītiānzǎoshàng,tiānqìhěnhǎo。xiǎoměidǎdiànhuàgěiliǎnggèpéngyǒu。

It was a beautiful Sunday morning. Xiaomei called two of her friends.

Xiaomei

喂,小李,今天我们去吧!

wèi,xiǎolǐ,jīntiānwǒmenqùgōngyuánba!

Hey, Xiaoli, let's go to the park today!

Xiaoli

好啊,可是我还没吃东西,有点。

hǎoa,kěshìwǒháiméichīdōngxī,yǒudiǎnè。

Sure, but I haven't eaten anything yet. I'm a little hungry.

Xiaowang

没问题,路上买碗,边走边吃。

méiwèntí,lùshangmǎiwǎnmiàntiáo,biānzǒubiānchī。

No problem—we'll grab a bowl of noodles on the way and eat as we walk.

Inside the Park

三个人走进。小美一直往前看。

sāngèrénzǒujìngōngyuán。xiǎoměiyìzhíwǎngqiánkàn。

The three of them walked into the park. Xiaomei kept looking ahead.

Xiaomei

这里有海吗?我想看海。

zhèlǐyǒuhǎima?wǒxiǎngkànhǎi。

Is there a sea here? I'd love to see the ocean.

Xiaoli

里没有海,不过你看那些树,多高啊!

gōngyuánlǐméiyǒuhǎi,búguònǐkànnàxiēshù,duōgāoa!

There's no sea in a park, but look at those trees—they're so tall!

Xiaowang

快看,前面那么多人在,我们也去看看!

kuàikàn,qiánmiànnàmeduōrénzàitiàowǔ,wǒmenyěqùkànkàn!

Quick, look—so many people are dancing up ahead. Let's go check it out!

On the Way Home

天快黑了,三个人坐上回家的。

tiānkuàihēile,sāngèrénzuòshànghuíjiādegōnggòngqìchē。

It was getting dark, so the three of them boarded the bus home.

Xiaoli

今天玩得真高兴,我都不了。

jīntiānwándézhēngāoxìng,wǒdōubúèle。

Today was so much fun—I'm not even hungry anymore.

Xiaomei

下个星期天,我们再来!

xiàgèxīngqītiān,wǒmenyídìngzàilái!

Next Sunday, we've definitely got to come back!
