The babysitting nightmare 凱薩琳保姆日記
Kathleen walked into the kitchen one morning and saw Mark with his aunt and nephew.
"Hi Kathleen," Mark said. "Aunt Mildred and I want to go to the opera. Could you help us watch Ricky?"
"Sure, I'll take him to the basketball game," Kathleen replied.
Mark and Aunt Mildred left. Kathleen took a long look at Ricky.
"You're really short," Ricky said to her.
"That's not nice. Would you like it if I made fun of your trunk?" Kathleen said.
"Your nose is really small," Ricky said.
Kathleen sighed. She knew she was in for a long day.
When Ricky had finished eating, they went to the basketball game and sat down in their seats.
There was a man sitting in front them. Ricky stuck out his trunk and sucked up some of the man's popcorn.
"Ricky!" Kathleen yelled.
"I'm hungry," he said.
"You just ate. I'm not getting you any food."
The man also had a hot dog. Ricky tried to grab it.
"Hey!" the man shouted. "Get your own lunch!"
Ricky was mad. He got a bottle of ketchup at the concession stand and went back to his seat. He put the bottle of ketchup on the ground with the top pointed at the man. Ricky lifted up his foot …

某天早晨，凱薩琳走進廚房時，看見馬克和他的姑媽與姪子。
「嗨，凱薩琳，」馬克說：「梅爾翠德姑媽和我想去看歌劇，妳能幫我們照顧瑞奇嗎？」
「沒問題，我會帶他去看籃球賽，」凱薩琳回答。
馬克和梅爾翠德姑媽離開後，凱薩琳盯著瑞奇看了好一會兒。
「妳長得好矮，」瑞奇對她說。
「這樣說不太有禮貌，你會喜歡我拿你的鼻子開玩笑嗎？」凱薩琳答道。
「你的鼻子真是有夠小的，」瑞奇又說。
凱薩琳嘆了一口氣，她知道今天不好過了。
瑞奇吃飽後，他們便去看籃球賽，並找到自己的位子坐下。
有一個男子坐在他們前面，瑞奇伸長他的象鼻子，吸了些那個男人的爆米花。
「瑞奇！」凱薩琳大叫。
「我餓了嘛，」他說。
「你才剛吃飽！我不會再給你任何東西吃了！」
那個男人還有一份熱狗，瑞奇試圖把熱狗搶過來。
「嘿！」那個男子大叫：「要吃午餐，自己去買！」
瑞奇很生氣，他從餐飲攤拿了一罐番茄醬，走回他的座位，他把番茄醬放在地上，瓶口對準那名男子，然後舉起他的腳…（翻譯�袁星塵）
