佩特和妈妈在厨房唱歌。

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.

我喜欢那首歌,我们可以再唱一遍吗?

可以。但是我们必须轻轻地唱。爸爸和李在一起做家庭作业 ,他们需要安静。

佩特

好的,为什么不唱生日歌呢?

我们不能唱那首歌,佩特。只有在别人生日的那天才可以唱生日歌。今天没人过生日。

佩特

好吧。那我等我星期三过生日那天再唱生日快乐歌。

妈妈

不,佩特。你在生日聚会上不需要唱这个。只有你的朋友和家人才会唱生日快乐歌。所有人都会对你唱生日快乐,因为那一天是你的生日。

佩特

噢,那我要做什么呢?

妈妈

你只用听着就行。然后等我们唱完了歌,每个人都会有一份蛋糕和一杯橙汁。

佩特

再然后呢?

妈妈

然后你可以拆礼物了。你觉得你会有很多礼物吗?

佩特

希望如此。我觉得我会的。有人跟我说我的许多朋友都为我准备了礼物。

妈妈

好极了。记住告诉所有的朋友你很喜欢他们送你的礼物。如果有人觉得你不喜欢他送的礼物,他会不开心的。

好吧,我会那样做的。我想所有的朋友都能在聚会上玩得开心。到时候我们也会玩游戏吗?

妈妈

是的,应该是。所有孩子的聚会都会玩许多游戏的。
