《The Moving Day Favor》封面

On Saturday morning, a moving truck parked outside Briar's building. A new family carried boxes up the front steps all day. Briar watched from her window, curious about her new neighbors.

周六早上,一辆搬家卡车停在了布莱尔住的楼外。一家新住户整天都在搬着箱子走上门前的台阶。布莱尔从窗口望着,对新邻居充满好奇。

By afternoon, Briar noticed a girl about her age. The girl struggled with a heavy box. The girl set the box down and rested for a moment.

到了下午,布莱尔注意到一个和她年纪差不多的女孩。女孩正吃力地搬着一个很重的箱子。她把箱子放下,歇了一会儿。

Briar grabbed her shoes and ran downstairs. "Can I help you carry that?" she asked. "Yes, please," the girl said. "This box is really heavy."

布莱尔抓起鞋子跑下楼。“我能帮你搬吗?”她问。“好啊,麻烦你了,”女孩说,“这个箱子真的很重。”

"I'm Briar. I live right upstairs." "I'm Celeste," the girl said. "We just moved from another city."

“我叫布莱尔,就住在楼上。”“我叫塞莱斯特,”女孩说,“我们刚从另一个城市搬来。”

They carried the box up three flights of stairs together. When they finished, both girls felt tired and happy.

她们一起把箱子搬上了三层楼。搬完之后,两个女孩都觉得又累又开心。

Celeste's mother thanked Briar warmly. "Thank you so much for your help," she said. Briar smiled and picked up another box from the truck.

塞莱斯特的妈妈热情地感谢了布莱尔。“非常感谢你的帮忙,”她说。布莱尔笑了笑,又从卡车上拿起了另一个箱子。

That evening, all the boxes were finally inside. Celeste opened a pizza box on the living room floor. "Stay and eat with us," she said to Briar. "There's plenty for everyone."

傍晚,所有的箱子终于都搬进了屋里。塞莱斯特在客厅的地板上打开了一盒披萨。“留下来跟我们一起吃吧,”她对布莱尔说,“够大家吃的。”

Briar sat down on the floor with Celeste and her family. They ate pizza together, surrounded by unopened boxes.

布莱尔和塞莱斯特一家人一起坐在地板上。他们围着没拆开的箱子,一起吃着披萨。
