Does Anyone¹ Want a Nice Clean Plate?

Peter was² ten years old. One day his friend Paul said³ to him, "I'm going⁴ to have a birthday party on Saturday, Peter. Can you you come?"

Peter asked his mother, and she said, "Yes, you can go." She phoned Paul's mother to tell her.

Before Peter went to the party on Saturday afternoon, his mother said to him, "Now, Peter, don't forget to be polite⁵. Don't ask for food. Wait until⁶ someone⁷ gives it to you."

"All right, Mom," Peter answered, and he went to Paul's house on his bicycle.

There were a lot of children at the party. They played together for an hour, and then Paul's mother gave⁸ them some food; but she forgot⁹ to give Peter any. He waited politely¹⁰ for a few¹¹ minutes, and then he held his plate up in the air and said loudly, "Does anyone want a nice clean plate?"

彼德十岁了。一天他的朋友保罗对他说：“彼德，星期六我要举办生日宴会，你能来吗？”

彼德问母亲，母亲说：“没问题，你去吧。”她还打电话通知了保罗的母亲。

星期六下午，彼德去赴宴。临行前，母亲对他说：“彼德，别忘了礼貌。别主动要吃的，等别人拿给你。”

“好的，妈妈。”彼德回答。然后他骑着自行车去了保罗的家。

宴会上孩子很多，他们在一起玩了一个钟头。这里保罗的母亲给他们分发食品。但她忘了给彼德。彼德等了几分钟，然后把盘子举在空中，大声说：“有人要干净的盘子吗？”
