The story

小雨：大卫，起床！王老师快到了！David, get up! Teacher Wang's almost here!

大卫：现在几点？……才八点！今天是星期天啊！What time is it? ...Only eight! It's Sunday!

王老师：你们好！这是我的鸟，叫小黄。Hello, you two! This is my bird. His name's Xiaohuang — Little Yellow.

小雨：哇，好黄啊！黄的头，黄的毛……真可爱！Wow, he's so yellow! Yellow head, yellow feathers... so cute!

小雨：大卫，快拿相机来！我要给他拍照。David, quick, get the camera! I want to take his picture.

王老师：小黄还会说话。你说什么，他就重复什么。And he can talk. Whatever you say, he repeats.

大卫：真的吗？鸟也会说话？Really? Birds can talk too?

王老师：我一生养过很多鸟，小黄最聪明！I've kept lots of birds in my life, and Xiaohuang is the cleverest!
