297.Easter Eggs

It was Easter Sunday. Mom gave a little basket to Michelle. Mom told her to look for Easter eggs. The Easter eggs were in the back yard. "What do Easter eggs look like?" Michelle asked. Mom said, "They look just like regular eggs. But they are colored. They are red. They are blue. They are yellow. They are many different colors." "Why are they red? Do they come from red hens?" Michelle asked. "No," Mom said. "They are red because Daddy and I colored them red. They are blue because we colored them blue. They are yellow because we colored them yellow." Michelle asked, "Why did you color the eggs?" Mom said, "It's an Easter tradition. A tradition is something people do every year." Michelle went into the back yard. She found six Easter eggs. "Next year you can help us color the eggs," Mom said. "Oh, yes!" said Michelle.

那是复活节的星期天。妈妈给了米歇尔一个小篮子。妈妈告诉她去找复活节彩蛋。复活节彩蛋就在后院里。"复活节彩蛋是什么样子的？" 米歇尔问。妈妈说，"它们看起来就像普通的鸡蛋。但它们是彩色的。它们是红色的。它们是蓝色的。它们是黄色的。它们有许多不同的颜色。" "为什么它们是红色的？它们来自红母鸡吗？" 米歇尔问。"不，"妈妈说。"它们是红色的，因为爸爸和我把它们染成了红色。它们是蓝色的，因为我们把它们染成了蓝色。它们是黄色的，因为我们把它们染成了黄色。" 米歇尔问："你们为什么给鸡蛋上色？" 妈妈说："这是复活节的一个传统。传统就是人们每年都要做的事情。" 米歇尔走到后院。她找到了六个复活节彩蛋。"明年你可以帮我们给鸡蛋上色，"妈妈说。"哦，好的！"米歇尔说。
