The story

小雨：今天搬家！大卫，你的东西装好了吗？Today's moving day! David, have you packed your things?

大卫：快了快了！我把书都装进箱子里了。Almost, almost! I've put all my books in the boxes.

小雨：那衣服呢？鞋呢？What about your clothes? Your shoes?

大卫：还没装……我的东西太多了，箱子不够！Not yet... I've got too much stuff, there aren't enough boxes!

小雨：快一点儿！搬家公司九点就来，要来不及了！Hurry up! The movers come at nine — we're going to run out of time!

乐乐：我来帮你们搬家！我九岁了，我能搬很多东西！I'm here to help you move! I'm nine now — I can carry loads!

小雨：大卫，这件衣服都破了，扔了吧。David, this shirt is full of holes. Throw it out.

大卫：不能扔！这是我来中国第一天穿的！I can't throw it out! I wore it on my first day in China!
