The story

小雨：大卫，快来看！窗户外边有一个湖！David, come and look! There's a lake outside the window!

大卫：哇，湖边还有山，有树。太美了！Wow, and there are mountains and trees around the lake. It's beautiful!

小雨：我们只有三天，要好好珍惜。今天去湖边走走吧。就我们两个人。We only have three days — let's make the most of them. Let's go for a walk by the lake today. Just the two of us.

大卫：对，就我们两个人。包子在房间里睡觉。Right, just the two of us. Baozi can sleep in the room.

小雨：我们先在花园里走走。酒店的花园真漂亮，到处都是花！Let's walk round the garden first. The hotel garden is so pretty — flowers everywhere!

大卫：小雨，你站在花园中间，我给你拍一张照片。Xiaoyu, stand in the middle of the garden and I'll take your picture.

大卫：一，二，三……咦？照片里怎么有一只大猫？One, two, three... huh? Why is there a big cat in the photo?

小雨：包子！你怎么也在花园里？Baozi! What are you doing in the garden too?
