On Sunday morning Tony went into the yard and played with a dog. Sometimes a bird would come down to stay on the top's of the dog's house. Then Tony threw a stone at it. 

Suddenly the little boy began crying. Mother ran to Tony and asked him what was wrong. He said, "I've broken2 sister's plate. She has beaten me." "Why?" "I threw it at a bird, and it went straight to the plate."

Such was my naughty brother.

【譯文】

托尼是我的小弟弟，他是個調(diào)皮的孩子。

星期天早晨，托尼跑到院子里跟小狗玩。恰巧，一直小鳥落在狗舍上，托尼就用石頭砸它。突然，這個小男孩哭了起來。媽媽跑過去問出了什么事。他哭著說：“我姐姐盤子摔碎了，她打了我！”“為什么？”“我拿石頭砸一只小鳥，但是卻打碎了姐姐的盤子。”

哎，這是我淘氣的弟弟。
