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...

“Broken bones”骨折

Mark and Kathleen sat in the doctor's office. Mark was very nervous, but Kathleen was just angry.

"What is taking so long?" she said. She tried to jump off her chair to go find someone to complain to, but as soon as her right foot touched the ground, she yelled in pain. Kathleen and Mark had gone skating in the park, and everyone was having fun until Kathleen fell and hurt her foot.

"Be more careful, please," said Mark. "I think you have a broken bone, and you will make it worse if you try to walk on it."

"It doesn't hurt that bad!" said Kathleen, but Mark could see tears in her eyes. "Anyway, it wasn't my fault. I was skating fine until that other boy ran into me."

Mark wanted to tell her that she had been skating way too fast, but she looked like she was feeling bad enough. Just then, a nurse called them. "Kathleen, the doctor will see you now," she said. The nurse could see that Kathleen was upset. "Don't be nervous," she said. "The doctor is just going to give you a quick exam and then he'll fix your foot."

Inside the exam room, lots of scary-looking equipment lay on the counters. There was a knock on the door.

"Hello," said a friendly voice, "I'm Dr Chen." (Kayleen Hartman, Staff Writer)

馬克與凱薩琳坐在醫師辦公室裡。馬克非常緊張，但凱薩琳只感到火冒三丈。

她說︰「幹嘛要這麼久？」她想從椅子上跳起來，找個人吐苦水，不過她的右腳一碰到地面，她就大聲喊痛。凱薩琳和馬克在公園溜冰時，大家都玩得很開心，直到凱薩琳跌傷了腿。
