Ken:There is a shoe store where the bus stop is, they might have kung fu shoes. But why does she need them, Iris doesn't know anything about kung fu, does she? Tracy: No, but the shoes aren't for her. She wants to give them to her new friend who has helped her a lot.

Ken: I know why, because you are the nicest sister in the world. 译文: 高兴一点! 现在是一个美丽的春天早上九点。 肯很早就出去做运动而刚好回家。 他看到他的姊姊,翠西,她看起来不很快乐。 肯:高兴一点!翠西。今天的日子这样好。你为何看起来这么闷闷不乐? 翠西:我今天不得不留在这里帮忙,,但是我想与我的朋友们外出。 肯:我不知道为什么你不能,我留在这里帮助妈妈。 Tracy: Not mom, Iris.
