It is Saturday, and the market is busy. Lupita walks between the stalls. She needs tomatoes for her mom.
今天是周六,集市上很热闹。卢皮塔在摊位之间走着。她要给妈妈买西红柿。
Many people talk and laugh. Then she hears crying. A small boy stands alone by a box of oranges. His face is wet.
许多人在说笑。这时她听见了哭声。一个小男孩独自站在一箱橙子旁边。他的脸上湿湿的。
Lupita kneels down. "Hello," she says. "What is your name?"
卢皮塔蹲下来。“你好,”她说,“你叫什么名字?”
"Teo," the boy says.
“特奥,”男孩说。
"Where is your dad, Teo?"
“你爸爸在哪里,特奥?”
"I don't know," he says. He cries again.
“我不知道,”他说。他又哭了起来。
"It is okay," Lupita says. "Let's look for him together. What does your dad wear?"
“没关系,”卢皮塔说,“我们一起去找他吧。你爸爸穿什么?”
"A yellow hat."
“一顶黄帽子。”
"Good. Hold my hand."
“好。拉着我的手。”
They walk through the market. Lupita looks for a yellow hat. She sees many people, but no yellow hat.
他们穿过集市。卢皮塔寻找着黄帽子。她看到许多人,却没有看到黄帽子。
"Where did you see your dad last?" she asks.
“你最后一次看见爸爸是在哪里?”她问。
"At the fruit stall," Teo says. "He buys apples."
“在水果摊,”特奥说,“他在买苹果。”
"Then let's go there and wait," she says.
“那我们去那里等吧,”她说。
They stand by the fruit stall. The seller gives Teo a slice of apple. He stops crying and eats it.
他们站在水果摊旁边。摊主给了特奥一片苹果。他不哭了,吃了起来。
Soon a man in a yellow hat runs to them. "Teo!" he shouts. Teo runs to him, and the man picks him up.
很快,一个戴黄帽子的男人跑了过来。“特奥!”他喊道。特奥跑向他,男人把他抱了起来。
"Thank you," the dad says. He gives Lupita a big red apple.
“谢谢你,”爸爸说。他送给卢皮塔一个又大又红的苹果。
She takes it and goes back to find her tomatoes.
她收下苹果,回去找她的西红柿了。
