見見老鼠凱薩琳和大象馬克。凱薩琳非常勇敢又喜歡冒險，但馬克的個性十分害羞，對許多事情都感到害怕。不過，朋友都喜歡黏在一塊兒，所以凱薩琳走到哪兒，馬克就會跟到哪兒。有時候，他們也會碰上非常棘手的情況...
One weekend, Mark and Kathleen were walking down a crowded market street looking at all the colorful things people were selling. They walked past piles of fruit, people selling cold, delicious drinks and other people selling hot, yummy things to eat.
Kathleen was trying to decide if she needed to buy a new baseball glove when a bright display of kites caught Mark's attention.
"Kathleen, let's go to the park this afternoon and fly a kite!" Mark cried.
Sometimes it was easy for Mark and Kathleen to agree. When it came to flying kites, they felt exactly the same way.
"Sounds good. Which one should we get? What about that huge red one with the ugly face on it? Or what about the dragon?" said Kathleen.
"No way!" said Mark. "It's to scary. Let's get the one with the dog on it. Or maybe a nice bird?" Kaleen laughed, and they found a kite they both liked with a smiling dog on it.
一個週末,馬克和凱薩琳走進擁擠的市場街裡,看著人們販售色彩繽紛的東西.他們走過成堆的水果,有人賣清涼好喝的飲料,有人兜售熱騰騰的可口小吃.
凱薩琳還在考慮需不需要買個新棒球手套時,馬克卻注意到一個亮眼的風箏攤位.
他大叫:「凱薩琳,我們今天下午去公園放風箏!」
有時馬克和凱薩琳很容易達成共識,說到放風箏,他們可是有志一同.,
「聽起來不錯,我們應該買哪一個?有張醜臉在上面的紅色大風箏,還是有一隻龍在上面的?」凱薩琳說.
馬克說:「想都別想!這太嚇人了,我們拿上面有狗,或是有可愛小鳥的吧!」凱薩琳大笑,然後他們找到了一只共同喜愛的風箏,上面有一隻微笑的狗.
