The story

乐乐：大卫，我们去楼下打球吧！David, let's go downstairs and play ball!

大卫：打球？打什么球？Play ball? What kind of ball?

乐乐：篮球！你很高，你会打篮球吧？Basketball! You're so tall — you must be able to play basketball, right?

大卫：会！……一点儿。小雨，你也来吗？Sure! ...A little. Xiaoyu, are you coming too?

小雨：不来。我在家休息。打球对身体好，你们去吧！Nope. I'm resting at home. Ball games are good for you — off you go!

乐乐：大卫，我的女同学都在看你！David, all the girls in my class are watching you!

乐乐：大卫，给你球！David, here — catch!

大卫：好！……我的头！OK! ...Ow, my head!
