日课｜英文故事：Grandma Is Sick
Grandma Is Sick
Grandma baked Jim cookies. She sewed his clothes. She even fixed his bike tire when it was flat.
But one day, Grandma felt sick. “I am too tired to bake cookies and fix bikes,” she told Jim. “I don’t even feel well enough to sew.”
Grandma was sick for weeks and weeks. Jim felt very sad. “Grandma can’t take care of me,” he told his father.
Dad thought about this. “Maybe you can take care of her.”
Dad helped Jim to bake Grandma’s favorite carrot cake. He helped Jim to make a Get Well card. He even helped Jim to fix the flat tire on Grandma’s bike. “That way, when she feels better, she can ride,” Dad said.
Grandma took a bite of cake. She looked at the card and at her bike. Then she gave Jim a big hug. “Thank you for taking care of me,” she said. “I feel better already!”
奶奶给吉姆烤饼干，给他缝衣服，她甚至还在他的自行车轮胎瘪了的时候帮他修好了。
但是有一天，奶奶觉得不舒服。“我太累了，不能烤饼干和修自行车了，”她告诉吉姆。“我感觉不太舒服，针线活都做不了啦。”
奶奶病了好几个星期。吉姆感到很难过。“奶奶不能照顾我，”他告诉父亲。
爸爸想了想，说：“也许你可以照顾她。”
爸爸帮吉姆烤奶奶最喜欢吃的胡萝卜蛋糕。他帮吉姆做了一张“祝康复”的卡。他甚至帮吉姆修理奶奶自行车上的爆胎。“这样，当她感觉好点的时候，她就可以骑车了。”爸爸说。
奶奶咬了一口蛋糕。她看了看卡片和自行车。然后她给了吉姆一个大大的拥抱。“谢谢你照顾我，”她说。“我已经感觉好多了！”
