I Saw the Pyramids!—Kaka's Diary

Words:Hannah

We're in Cairo! Today, we are riding camels to visit the Pyramids. Cairo is so hot.

Coco says the camels carry water in their humps. I try to put my water bottle on my back like a camel's hump. Plop! It falls in the sand. I ask Dad for another bottle. He says he will hold onto all of the water. “Good idea!” Mom says.

我們在開羅！今天，我們騎著駱駝去參觀金字塔。開羅太熱了。可可說駱駝用它們的駝峰儲水。我試著把水瓶放在背上，像駝峰那樣。撲通！水瓶掉進了沙子里。我想跟爸爸再要一瓶水，爸爸說他會保管所有的水。“好主意！”媽媽說。

We make it to the Pyramids. They are yellow and covered with sand. I want to climb one.

“No.” Mom says.

“Can I go closer?”

Mom says, “That depends.” This means she will agree if I behave myself.

我們到了金字塔。它們是黃色的，被沙子覆蓋。我想去爬金字塔。“不行。”媽媽說。

“那我能走近一點嗎？”

媽媽說：“那得看情況。”這意味著如果我好好表現，她就會同意。

The Pyramids are huge! Coco says people built them. “Did they carry things on their backs like camels?” I ask. “Of course not!” Coco says. I turn to Mom. She says,“ We humans have brains. They used wisdom.”

金字塔真大啊！可可說人類建造了這些金字塔。“他們像駱駝一樣把東西馱在背上嗎？”我問。“當然不！”可可說。我又問媽媽。她說：“我們人類擁有大腦。他們用的是智慧。”

Did they carry things on their backs like camels?

We humans have brains. They used wisdom.

We take pictures. The camel's smiling! I know he loves Cairo, too.

我們拍了照片。照片上的駱駝在微笑呢！我知道他也愛著開羅這座城市。
