The Missing Walkie-Talkie (Part 2)
A Liang's Story — a frantic search with a red-faced ending.

阿亮正在楼里巡逻,突然发现自己的对讲机不见了。A Liang was patrolling the building when he suddenly realized his walkie-talkie was gone.他一拍口袋,什么也没有。He patted his pocket — nothing.他小声说:“不会吧,我怎么又没有带好……”He whispered, "No way… how did I lose track of it again…"
他赶紧回到前台问小美。He hurried back to the front desk to ask Xiao Mei.小美说她没有看到对讲机。Xiao Mei said she hadn't seen the walkie-talkie.阿亮着急地在桌下、椅子后面找。A Liang anxiously searched under the table and behind the chairs.小美看着他乱翻,忍不住笑了。Xiao Mei watched him rummaging around and couldn't help laughing.
这时,一个清洁阿姨走来。Just then, a cleaning lady walked over.她举着对讲机说:“这个是谁掉的?”She held up the walkie-talkie and said, "Who dropped this?"
阿亮的脸一下红了,说:“我…我刚才没有拿好。”A Liang's face turned red as he said, "I… I didn't have a good grip on it just now."
