Kathleen's makeover 凱薩琳變身記
Mark was reading in the yard when Kathleen came out.
"I'm sick of the way I look," she said.
"You could change your outfit," he replied.
"I want a complete makeover. Let's go to the mall."
Mark agreed. They went to Kathleen's favorite beauty parlor.
"Kathleen!" shouted Isabel, Kathleen's hairdresser. "What will it be today?"
"I want the works," she said. "Make me a new mouse."
Isabel got to work. She cut Kathleen's hair, changed her eyebrows and did her makeup and nails. Isabel even got Kathleen a new set of clothes.
"Fabulous!" Isabel said. "Look in the mirror."
"No, I'd rather find out how I look by seeing other's reactions. What do you think, Mark?"
Mark thought Kathleen looked hideous. But he didn't want to upset her.
"You look great. Let's go home."
"No, I want to walk around. Let's go to the food court."
As they walked to the food court, Kathleen noticed that everybody was looking at her.
"Nobody can get enough of me!" she thought.
They sat down. Kathleen noticed that the family at the next table was staring at her. She began to feel uncomfortable. The youngest child in the family began pointing at her and laughing.
"Mark, why's he doing that?" Kathleen asked.
Mark didn't know what to say…(MICHAEL KEARNEY, STAFF WRITER)
馬克在院子裡看書時，凱薩琳走了出來。
「我受不了我的樣子了，」她說。
「你可以改變穿著風格啊，」馬克回答。
「我想徹底改造一番，我們去購物中心吧！」
馬克答應後，他們一起去了凱薩琳最愛的美容院。
「凱薩琳！」凱薩琳的髮型師伊莎貝兒大喊：「妳今天想做什麼造型啊？」
她說：「我要你把我改造成一隻截然不同的老鼠！」
伊莎貝兒著手開始工作，她替凱薩琳剪了頭髮、修了新的眉型、化妝和做指甲，再加上一套全新的服裝。
「美呆了！」伊莎貝兒說：「照照鏡子吧！」
「不用了，我想從別人的反應來看看我有多美。馬克，你覺得如何？」
馬克覺得凱薩琳看起來糟透了，可是他不想讓她傷心。
「妳看起來很美，我們回家吧。」
「不，我想四處逛逛，我們去美食街吧。」
當他們走去美食街時，凱薩琳注意到大家都在看她。
她心想：「大家都對我目不轉睛呢！」
他們坐了下來，凱薩琳發現隔壁桌的一家人盯著她瞧，她開始覺得不太自在，然後那家人中最小的孩子開始指著她大笑。
