THE COMET 彗星
同一天晚上。
Jenny Would you like any more apple pie. Paula?
Paula No, thank you.
Jenny No, thanks. It was very nice, but I’m full.
Paula Is it dark enoughyet, Daddy?
Jack Yes, I think so. But we should clear the table before we go outside.
Paula OK.
Jack Not so fast.
Jenny I’ll get the binoculars.

Jack Look through here. Now turn this wheel until everything is in focus.
Paula Yes, that’s it. Wom!
Jenny What can you see?
Paula The moon. It looks huge!
Jack What else can you see?
Paula Stars. Lots of stars. Oh, is that the comet?
Jenny Where?
Paula There! It looks like a star, but is seems to flash red and blue.
Jack That sounds more like a plane.
Paula No! It’s not a plane.!
Jenny Oh, I can see it. Three!
Jack That’s a plane, I think, not the comet.
Paula So where’s the comet?
Jack It says here, ‘Look to the north’.
Jenny North’s is that way.
Jack ‘Find the Plogh’.
Jenny That’s the Plough:those stars that look like a frying pan. Can you see it?
Paula Yes, there it is!
Jenny Where?
Paula There!
Jenny Oh, yes.
Jack Wom!
Paula Isn’t it great?
