复活节彩蛋

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 tradition². 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.

今天是复活节。妈妈给米歇尔一个篮子。妈妈让她去找复活节彩蛋。彩蛋在后院。米歇尔问道：“彩蛋长什么样子？”妈妈说：“它们和普通鸡蛋一样。但是它们带颜色。有红的。蓝的。黄的。还有一些其它颜色。”米歇尔问道：“它们为什么是红的？是红母鸡下的蛋吗？妈妈说：“不是，那是因为我和爸爸将它染成了红色。我们还把它染成了蓝色。还把它染成了黄色。”米歇尔问道：“你为什么要给鸡蛋涂颜色？”妈妈说：“这是复活节的传统。这是每年的习俗。”米歇尔走进了后院。妈妈说：“明年你可以帮我们涂彩蛋。”米歇尔说：“太好了！”
