The story

小林：好消息！有一个导演给我打电话了！Great news! A director just called me!

小林：他在拍一部新的电视剧，想请包子演一只猫！He's making a new TV series, and he wants Baozi to play a cat!

小林：你们看他发来的文字：“一只胖猫，很爱睡觉，很爱吃。”Look at what he wrote: "A fat cat who loves sleeping and loves eating."

大卫：包子演一只猫？他本来就是一只猫啊。Baozi playing a cat? He already is a cat.

小雨：可是包子会演吗？他有什么才能？But can Baozi act? What talents has he got?

大卫：他的才能？睡觉，吃包子，不理人。His talents? Sleeping, eating buns and ignoring people.

小林：这些都是才能！明天我们去试一试！Those are all talents! Tomorrow we'll go and audition!

小林：你们看，导演在门口迎接我们！Look, the director's at the door to meet us!
