这是假期时间。 Zhè shì jiàqī shíjiān. Veena和Vinay在花园里。 Veena hé Vinay zài huāyuán lǐ. 到处都是油漆罐。 Dàochù dōu shì yóuqī guàn.

有白色油漆、红色油漆、绿色油漆、蓝色油漆和黄色油漆。 Yǒu báisè yóuqī, hóngsè yóuqī, lǜsè yóuqī, lán sè yóuqī hé huángsè yóuqī.

粉刷匠很忙。 Fěnshuā jiàng hěn máng. 一位粉刷匠在梯子上。 Yī wèi fěnshuā jiàng zài tīzi shàng. 另一位在从屋顶悬挂下来的秋千上。 “我们可以帮忙吗？” Veena和Vinay问道。 Lìng yī wèi zài cóng wūdǐng xuánguà xiàlái de qiūqiān shàng.“Wǒmen kěyǐ bāngmáng ma?” Veena hé Vinay wèn dào.

粉刷匠给了他们每人一把刷子。 Fěnshuā jiàng gěile tāmen měi rén yī bǎ shuāzi. “给门的内侧涂漆，” 他对Veena说。 “Gěi mén de nèicè tú qī,” tā duì Veena shuō.

“给门的外侧涂漆，” 他对Vinay说。 “Gěi mén de wàicè tú qī,” tā duì Vinay shuō.

他们拿起两罐油漆然后开始工作。 Tāmen ná qǐ liǎng guàn yóuqī ránhòu kāishǐ gōngzuò. Veena给门的一侧涂了油漆。 Veena gěi mén de yī cè túle yóuqī. Vinay粉刷了门的另一边。 Vinay fěnshuāle mén de lìng yībiān.

油漆落在地上。 Yóuqī luò zài dìshàng.

油漆落在墙上。 Yóuqī luò zài qiáng shàng.

油漆落在他们身上。 Yóuqī luò zài tāmen shēnshang.

最后他们结束了。 Zuìhòu tāmen jiéshùle. 他们擦掉了溅在地上的油漆。 Tāmen cā diàole jiàn zài dìshàng de yóuqī. 他们擦掉了溅在墙上的油漆。 Tāmen cā diàole jiàn zài qiáng shàng de yóuqī.

他们擦掉了溅在身上的油漆。 Tāmen cā diàole jiàn zài shēnshang de yóuqī.

“我爱我的红色大门！” Veena 说。 “Wǒ ài wǒ de hóngsè dàmén!” Veena shuō.

“我爱我的绿色大门！” Vinay 说。 “Wǒ ài wǒ de lǜsè dàmén!” Vinay shuō.

“哦，你们做了一扇双色门！” 粉刷匠喊道。 “Ó, nǐmen zuòle yī shàn shuāngsè mén!” Fěnshuā jiàng hǎn dào.

“让我们保持这样吧！”妈妈说。 “Ràng wǒmen bǎochí zhèyàng ba!” Māmā shuō.
