HSK 1Chapter 2 of 3204 characters
米饭是谁的猫?
Whose cat is Mifan?
星期六上午,张丽去找米饭的家人。她去了学校的商店、书店和饭店。她在手机上给大家看米饭,问:“这是您的猫吗?”有的人说:“不是我的。”有的人说:“对不起,我不知道。”
星期天,她还在找。下午,天气很冷,张丽有点儿不高兴。这时候,一个小朋友看见了手机里的米饭。他说:“我认识它!它是王先生的猫。”小朋友叫明明,今年七岁。明明说:“王先生今年八十岁了,他一个人住。他家在学校外边。我们去吧!”
他们到了王先生家。张丽叫:“王先生!王先生!”家里没有人。这时候,那边来了一个女士。她说:“你们找王先生吗?他生病了,现在在医院。”
