李老师：艺术节的活动很丰富。下午的两节课，我们都准备晚会。The arts festival is packed with events. We'll spend both afternoon lessons getting ready for the show.

学生：李老师，我们班的活动是什么？Teacher Li, what's our class doing?

李老师：我们表演一个故事：《兔子和包子》。We're performing a story: "The Rabbit and Baozi".

乐乐：我是兔子！包子……就表演包子！I'm the rabbit! And Baozi... plays Baozi!

学生：包子会表演吗？Can Baozi act?

乐乐：很简单！兔子跑得很快，然后睡觉。包子慢慢走，最后第一！It's easy! The rabbit runs very fast, then falls asleep. Baozi walks slowly and comes first in the end!

包子：喵～Meow~
