The Party
Cody's family moved to a new house. His dad got a new job as a professor. Cody liked his new town, but he missed his grandparents. For his birthday, Cody wanted to have a party. His dad said, 'Yes,we could even have a band play!'
科迪一家搬进了新房子。他爸爸重新找了一份当教授的工作。科迪喜欢这个新的城镇，但他又想念他的祖父母。科迪想要举办一场生日派对。他爸爸说：“可以，我们甚至可以请一支乐队过来演奏！”
On the day of the party, Cody woke up and rushed to get ready. He started to check hislist of things to do. He was so excited! But then he noticed something terrible. There was snow on the ground and lots of it! 'Dad!' he yelled. 'How can the band play theirinstruments outside?'
生日当天，科迪醒来之后就开始忙着准备派对。他开始核对清清单，上面写着他需要做的事。他很激动！但他注意到了一个可怕的事情：他看见地上有雪，而且积雪很多！“爸爸！”他喊道。“这样乐队怎么在外面演奏呢？”
Dad said, 'We'll move the stage inside.' It barely fit within the garage because there were some boxes and garbage there. But when they finished, they got a call from the band. They did not want to come in the snow storm.
爸爸说：“我们把舞台移到屋子里。”车库里除了原有的一些盒子和垃圾，刚好能容下舞台。但当他们忙活完了之后，乐队打了个电话来表示不想在大雪天过来演奏了。
Dad said, 'Let's get someone to perform magic.' But no one would come because of the snow.
爸爸说：“那我们就请魔术家来表演魔术把。”但没人愿意冒雪前来。
Finally, Dad said, 'Cody, there's too much snow. We need to cancel the party.'
最后，科迪爸爸说：“儿子，雪太大了，我们把派对取消吧。”
Yes, sir, Cody said sadly. 'It's going to be a boring birthday,' he predicted. Cody wanted to share his birthday with someone. He wanted to be at his old home. He wanted to see his grandparents.
“好吧，”科迪伤心地说。“这个生日肯定很无聊，”他推测。他想和别人分享生日的喜庆，他想回到老房子，也想见到祖父母。
But then something got his attention. He noticed a car in the driveway. His grandparents owned a car like that!
但他随后注意到了什么。他看到有辆车开进了私人车道。那正是他祖父母的车！
Cody was right. His grandparents came for his birthday! Happy birthday, Cody!We're sorry we are late. But there was so much snow. It made us go off schedule. We tried to leave a message to tell you.
科迪猜对了。他祖父母来为他庆祝生日了！生日快乐，科迪！很抱歉我们迟到了，但路上积雪太多了，我们不得不慢慢前行。本想发信息告诉你一声的，
Cody told them what happened. 'I'm sorry,' said Grandpa.
科迪把之前的事都和爷爷奶奶说了。“那真是遗憾，”爷爷说。
I was sad, Cody said. 'But I'm not anymore. I'm so happy to see you.' Dad brought out Cody's birthday treat. It was his favorite type, a sundae with whipped cream on top. Then Cody told his grandparents about the new town. It was his best birthday ever.
“我本来很伤心，”科迪说。“但我现在不伤心了，看到你们我很高兴。”他爸爸把生日蛋糕拿了出来。那是一个上面铺满奶油的圣代冰激淋，是科迪最喜欢吃的类型。随后，科迪对爷爷奶奶说了一些新城市的情况。这是他有史以来最棒的生日。
