The Missing Little Lamb (Part 2)
A Week at the Zoo — a little lamb goes missing before noon.
中午前，小慧发现一只小羊不见了。Before noon, Xiao Hui discovered that a little lamb was missing.她不敢大意，马上去问同事。She didn't dare take it lightly and immediately asked her coworker.同事说他没有看到小羊跑出去。Her coworker said he hadn't seen the lamb run out.
小慧到草地上找，可是怎么找也找不到。Xiao Hui searched the grass, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't find it.她一边找一边说：“别怕，我不会丢下你。”As she searched, she said, "Don't be scared — I won't leave you behind."
这时，她听到一声轻轻的“咩”。Just then, she heard a soft "baa."小羊在树后面，正在吃花，好像不觉得自己做错事。The little lamb was behind a tree eating flowers, as if it didn't think it had done anything wrong.小慧松了口气，说：“不可以乱跑哦。”Xiao Hui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You mustn't run off like that."
