Who Will Take Care of Mifan? (Part 2)
The suitcase comes out — and Mifan gets in.
第二天，小婷给她爸爸打电话。The next day, Xiaoting calls her dad.她问：“爸爸，下个月我们要去美国两个星期，米饭可以住在你家吗？”She asks: "Dad, next month we're going to America for two weeks. Can Mifan stay at your house?"
小婷的爸爸大声说：“当然可以！我最喜欢狗了！”Xiaoting's dad says loudly: "Of course! I love dogs more than anything!"
米饭听到了，高兴地跳来跳去。Mifan hears this and jumps around happily.
一个星期以后，小婷开始收拾东西。A week later, Xiaoting starts packing.她把大箱子放在床上。She puts the big suitcase on the bed.
米饭看到箱子，马上坐了进去。The moment Mifan sees the suitcase, he climbs in and sits down.
小婷说：“米饭，你不能去美国！”Xiaoting says: "Mifan, you can't go to America!"
米饭不走，还把约翰的一只鞋也拿进了箱子。Mifan won't leave — he even carries one of John's shoes into the suitcase.
约翰大笑：“它是想我们了。”John laughs out loud: "He's going to miss us."
去机场的那天早上，小婷的爸爸来接米饭。On the morning they leave for the airport, Xiaoting's dad comes to pick up Mifan.米饭看看小婷，又看看箱子。Mifan looks at Xiaoting, then looks at the suitcase.
小婷抱了抱米饭：“两个星期以后见！”Xiaoting gives Mifan a hug: "See you in two weeks!"
在机场，小婷拿出一张纸，上面写着一句英文。At the airport, Xiaoting takes out a piece of paper with one English sentence written on it.她小声地读了一遍，又读了一遍。She reads it quietly once, then once more.
飞机要起飞了。The plane is about to take off.
