Chiara had a small, round robot. It cut the grass in her garden every Tuesday morning. She liked it very much.
基娅拉有一个圆圆的小机器人。每个星期二早上,它都会给她家花园里的草坪除草。她非常喜欢它。
One Tuesday, she looked out of the window. The robot was not on her grass. It was in the garden next door.
一个星期二,她朝窗外看去。机器人不在她家的草坪上。它在隔壁的花园里。
Her neighbor, an old man, stood at his back door. He watched the robot. It cut his grass in neat lines. He smiled and waved at Chiara.
她的邻居是一位老先生,正站在后门口。他看着那个机器人。它把他家的草修剪得整整齐齐。他笑着向基娅拉挥了挥手。
Chiara did not know what to say. She waved back and went inside.
基娅拉不知道该说什么。她挥手回应,然后走回了屋里。
The next Tuesday, the robot went next door again. The old man sat in his chair and watched it. He looked very happy.
下一个星期二,机器人又去了隔壁。老先生坐在椅子上看着它。他看起来非常开心。
On Wednesday, he knocked on her door. He had a cake in his hands. "This is for you," he said. "Thank you for the free grass. It is a very kind gift."
星期三,他来敲她的门。他手里端着一个蛋糕。“这是给你的,”他说,“谢谢你送我免费的草坪修剪。这份礼物太贴心了。”
Chiara's face went red. "It is not a gift," she said. "It is a mistake. My robot goes to your garden by itself."
基娅拉的脸红了。“这不是礼物,”她说,“这是个错误。我的机器人自己跑到你的花园里去了。”
The old man laughed. He laughed so loudly that Chiara laughed too.
老先生笑了。他笑得那么大声,连基娅拉也跟着笑了。
"Then it is a very kind mistake," he said. "Let us eat the cake."
“那这就是一个很贴心的错误,”他说,“来,我们吃蛋糕吧。”
They sat in her kitchen. Chiara opened the robot app on her phone. She found a map of her garden. The robot's map was too big. It had a line around his garden too.
他们坐在她家的厨房里。基娅拉在手机上打开了机器人的应用。她找到了自己花园的地图。机器人的地图画得太大了。连他家的花园也被一条线圈了进去。
She pressed a button and made the map smaller. Then she took a big piece of cake.
她按了一下按钮,把地图缩小。然后她拿了一大块蛋糕。
