有個女孩
她叫 Lena。
她當時十歲。
Lena 非常喜歡畫畫。
每天放學後，她都會坐在書桌前。
她拿起鉛筆和紙張。
Lena 畫房子、樹和動物。
有一天，Lena 決定畫她夢想中的房子。
她首先畫了屋頂。
然後她畫了窗和門。
她在房子旁邊畫了一個開滿花的花園。
花園裡有一棵大樹。
Lena 看了這幅畫很久。
她覺得好像少了什麼。
她想了想，又加了一道柵欄。
但還是少了些什麼。
她的弟弟走進了房間。
他叫 Vanya。
他看了看畫。
Vanya 說房子是空的。
他問為什麼那裡沒有人。
Lena 同意他的說法。
她拿起鉛筆畫了媽媽在門口。
然後又畫了在花園裡的爸爸。
在樹的旁邊，她畫了她自己和 Vanya。
現在，畫面變得明亮而生動。
但是 Lena 發現了一些奇怪的事情。
畫中出現了一隻小貓，在籬笆後面。
Lena 不記得畫過它。
那隻貓好像在看著她。
Vanya 笑著說是他畫的貓。
Lena 笑了。
這隻貓讓這幅畫變得更好看了。
現在這房子看起來很真實。
Lena 把畫掛在牆上。
這成了她的最愛。
每次看著它，她都會想起一家人在一起的感覺有多好。

Lena
There was a girl.
Her name was Lena.
She was ten years old.
Lena loved to draw very much.
Every day after school she sat down at her desk.
She took pencils and paper.
Lena drew houses, trees and animals.
One day Lena decided to draw her dream house.
First she drew the roof.
Then she drew windows and doors.
Next to the house she added a garden with flowers.
There was a big tree in the garden.
Lena looked at the drawing for a long time.
It seemed to her that something was missing.
She thought about it and added a fence.
But still something was missing.
Her younger brother came into the room.
His name was Vanya.
He looked at the drawing.
Vanya said the house was empty.
He asked why there were no people there.
Lena agreed with him.
She took a pencil and drew Mommy at the door.
Then she added daddy in the garden.
Next to the tree she drew herself and Vanya.
Now the drawing became bright and alive.
But then Lena noticed something strange.
A small cat appeared in the drawing behind the fence.
Lena didn't remember drawing it.
It was as if the cat was looking at her.
Vanya laughed and said that he was the one who drew the cat.
Lena smiled.
The cat made the drawing even better.
Now the house seemed real.
Lena hung the drawing on the wall.
It became her favorite.
Every time she looked at it, she remembered how good it was to have a family together.
