Petra had an orange cat named Biscuit. Every evening, Biscuit came home at six o'clock.
佩特拉有一只橘色的猫，名叫比斯吉。每天傍晚，比斯吉都会在六点钟回家。
On Tuesday, six o'clock came and went. Biscuit did not come home. Petra waited by the door.
周二，六点过去了，比斯吉没有回来。佩特拉守在门边等着。
She called Biscuit's name in the yard. Nothing happened. The street stayed quiet.
她在院子里呼唤比斯吉的名字。没有任何动静。街上一片安静。
At seven, Petra walked around the block. She looked under cars and behind fences. There was no sign of Biscuit.
七点，佩特拉绕着街区走了一圈。她看了车底下，也看了篱笆后面。到处都没有比斯吉的踪影。
She went back home and waited. She made a cup of tea and watched the window.
她回到家继续等。她泡了一杯茶，望着窗外。
At eight o'clock, a soft sound came from the porch. Petra opened the door quickly.
八点钟，门廊上传来一阵轻轻的声响。佩特拉连忙打开门。
Biscuit sat there, calm and hungry. But something was different. A small bell hung from his collar.
比斯吉坐在那里，神态平静，肚子很饿。可是有些地方不一样了。它的项圈上挂着一个小铃铛。
Petra never put a bell on Biscuit. She looked at it closely. It had a tiny tag that said "Chester."
佩特拉从来没给比斯吉系过铃铛。她凑近仔细看。铃铛上有一块小小的牌子，写着“切斯特”。
The next morning, Petra walked down the street. She stopped at a house with a nice garden.
第二天早上，佩特拉沿着街走去。她在一栋带漂亮花园的房子前停下。
A man opened the door. "Oh, that is Chester's bell," he said. "Your cat visits me every day. I feed him fish."
一位男士开了门。“哦，这是切斯特的铃铛，”他说，“你家的猫每天都来看我。我给它喂鱼吃。”
Petra laughed and thanked him. She walked home with a new neighbor to talk to.
佩特拉笑了，向他道谢。她走回家的时候，多了一位可以聊天的新邻居。
