A big box arrives — and something inside says hello.
早上，门口有一个大箱子。In the morning, there is a big box at the door.小雨问：“这是什么？”Xiaoyu asks: "What is this?"爸爸笑着说：“打开看看！”Dad smiles: "Open it and see!"箱子里是一个小机器人。Inside the box is a little robot.
机器人站了起来，说：“你们好！我是你们家的新机器人。”The robot stands up and says: "Hello! I am your family's new robot."小雨大声说：“它会说话！”Xiaoyu says loudly: "It can talk!"妈妈问：“它叫什么名字？”Mom asks: "What is its name?"爸爸说：“它还没有名字。”Dad says: "It doesn't have a name yet."
小雨想了想：“它今天来我们家，我们都很快乐。”Xiaoyu thinks for a moment: "It came to our home today, and we are all very happy."“就叫它乐乐吧！”"Let's call it Lele!"机器人说：“你们好，我是乐乐！”The robot says: "Hello everyone, I am Lele!"
家里的小猫看了看乐乐，走开了。The family cat looks at Lele and walks away.小雨说：“别怕，小猫会喜欢你的。”Xiaoyu says: "Don't worry, the cat will like you."这一天，家里多了一个新朋友。That day, the family has one more new friend.
