Naughty Dog Eats Thousands of Dollars

Xiao Hei! Put that down! Xiao Hei! Be good! No… no… Xiao Hei… you broke my favorite cup! Ahhhh. 小黑，你把我最愛的杯子打破了！ Sometimes my dog can be naughty, just like a little kid! 我的狗狗有時候很頑皮，就像小孩一樣。 Xiao Hei is usually a good dog. She doesn't bark, and she's very friendly. And she never eats my money. 小黑平常很乖，不太會叫、很友善，而且不會吃我的錢。 Eat money? What? Yeah. I'm thinking about a story from America. Last month, a woman in America made a video. In the video she was very sad because her dog chewed up and ate about 2,000 U.S. dollars… that's over 60,000 NT !上個月，美國有一個女生拍了一支影片，因為她的狗狗吃了她的兩千塊美金，這樣換算成台幣有六萬多塊！ The money was on a table. The woman and her husband went to go do something, and when they came back just a few minutes later… Oh my! The dog had chewed and eaten most of the money! 錢原本放在桌上，當他們夫妻倆出門一陣子回家以後，發現狗狗把很多錢都吃掉了！ She said she was sad, but of course, she understands it wasn't the dog's fault. 她說她很難過，但是她知道這不是狗狗的錯。 And, there's a happy ending: they saved some of their cash! The man and woman used sticky tape to put their money back together, and took it to the bank to swap the ripped money for new money. 幸好，他們有救回一些錢。他們用膠帶把一些鈔票黏起來，拿去銀行換了新鈔。 So remember, be kind to animals, even when they are naughty… and, if you have a dog, don't leave money on the table! ________________________________ Vocabulary 狗狗把鈔票吃掉了，這可真是傷腦筋。 1. friendly 友善的 Nice dog! 真是好狗！ Yeah, Charlie is super friendly. 沒錯，查理非常友善。 He likes all my friends. 他喜歡我所有的朋友。 2. chew 咀嚼 Has he ever caused trouble for you? 他有給你惹過麻煩嗎？ Just once. 只有一次。 He chewed up my mother's bag.他啃我媽媽的皮包。 Did he find it delicious? 他覺得包包很好吃？ I guess so.
