So Picky Nicky goes to Freddy's house.
She goes to the door.
She rings the bell.
"What's for supper ?"she says.
"It's spaghetti!" says Freddy.
"Get a plate!"
所以，挑食的妮琪来到弗雷德家。
她走到门前，她按了下门铃，她问“晚餐吃什么啊？”
“吃意大利面条！”弗雷德说。“去拿个盘子！”
Freddy's mom brings the spaghetti.
Then she says,"We are also having peas, carrots, grapes, and pears. Pass your plate!"
弗雷德的妈妈端来一盘意大利面条。
她说：“我们还要吃豌豆、胡萝卜、葡萄和梨。把你的盘子递给我！”
Oh, no!
Picky Nicky thinks, "I would rather eat bees, parrots, apes, and bears, than peas, carrots, grapes, and pears!"
What will she do?
哦，不！
挑食的妮琪想，“我宁可吃蜜蜂、鹦鹉、猩猩和狗熊，也不吃菜豆、胡萝卜、葡萄和梨！”
她该怎么办呢？
"I know ! "
Picky Nicky takes a spoon of peas, a spoon of carrots, some grapes, and a little bit of pears.
She hides them under her spaghetti!
“我知道了！”
挑食的妮琪兜了一勺豌豆、一勺胡萝卜、一些葡萄和一点梨。
她把它们藏在意大利面条下面。
Soon her plate is clean.
Where are the peas, carrots, grapes, and pears?
Wow! Picky Nicky ate them!
不一会儿她的盘子全空了。
豌豆、胡萝卜、葡萄和梨到哪儿去了？
哇哦！挑食的妮琪把它们全吃掉了！
The next night Picky Nicky says,"I will eat anthing —if I can hide it in spaghetti."
Dad says,"Even peas, carrots, grapes, and pears ? Even ice cream ? "
第二天晚上，挑食的妮琪说：“我可以吃掉任何食物——如果我能把它藏在意大利面条里面的话。”
爸爸说：“哪怕是豌豆、胡萝卜、葡萄和梨？哪怕是冰激凌？”
Picky Nicky says,"No, I will have my ice cream all by itself!"
挑食的妮琪说：“不，我会单独吃掉冰激凌的！”
