Miles checked the mailbox after school on Friday. Inside was a colorful envelope with no name on it.
周五放学后，迈尔斯去查看信箱。里面有一个五颜六色的信封，上面没有写名字。
He opened it carefully. It was a birthday card that said, "Happy Birthday, Alex! Hope your day is great."
他小心地拆开。那是一张生日贺卡，上面写着：“亚历克斯，生日快乐！祝你今天过得开心。”
Miles did not know anyone named Alex. His family did not know an Alex either.
迈尔斯不认识叫亚历克斯的人。他的家人也不认识什么亚历克斯。
He showed the card to his mom. "This isn't for us," she said. "Maybe the mail carrier made a mistake."
他把贺卡拿给妈妈看。“这不是给我们的，”她说，“也许是邮递员弄错了。”
Miles looked at the house numbers on the street. His house was number twenty-three.
迈尔斯看了看街上的门牌号。他家是二十三号。
He noticed something. The house at number thirty-two looked almost the same from far away.
他注意到一件事。三十二号的房子从远处看几乎和他家一模一样。
"Maybe it's for the house down the street," Miles said. "The numbers look similar."
“也许是给街那头那家的，”迈尔斯说，“号码看起来很像。”
He walked down to number thirty-two with the card. A boy about his age opened the door.
他拿着贺卡走到三十二号。一个和他年纪差不多的男孩开了门。
"Are you Alex?" Miles asked. "I think your birthday card came to my house by mistake."
“你是亚历克斯吗？”迈尔斯问，“我想你的生日贺卡错寄到我家了。”
"That's me!" the boy said with a big smile. "I looked for it all week!"
“是我！”男孩笑得很开心，“我找了一整个星期呢！”
Miles handed him the card. "Happy birthday," he said.
迈尔斯把贺卡递给他。“生日快乐，”他说。
Alex thanked him. The two boys talked for a few minutes on the porch.
亚历克斯向他道谢。两个男孩在门廊上聊了几分钟。
