纯正美音，适合模仿学习。

The Kitten

“Meow! Meow!” The cries came from a tall tree on Marvin Street.
Kids stopped playing hide and seek. They stopped playing tag. Everyone ran over to the tree. “It's a kitten,” Ron said. “We have to save her!”
Ron tried to climb the tree. It was too tall. Susan got a ladder from her house. She tried to reach the kitten. The ladder was too short.
Finally, Joe had an idea. “I’ll call the fire department,” he said. The fire truck arrived. One man put up a tall ladder. He climbed to the top and rescued the kitten.
“Meow! Meow!” cried the kitten. The firefighter held the kitten. Ron and Susan and Joe got to pet it. Then there was another cry.
“My kitty!” said Mrs. Miller. “Was she on fire?”
小猫咪
“喵！喵！喊声来自马文街的一棵大树上。
孩子们不再捉迷藏了。他们不再玩捉人游戏了。每个人都跑到树前。“是只小猫，”罗恩说。“我们必须救她！”
罗恩试着爬树。它太高了。苏珊从她家买了一架梯子。她试图够到小猫。梯子太短了。
最后，乔有了一个主意。“我会打电话给消防局的，”他说。消防车到了。一个人搭了一个高梯子。他爬上山顶救了小猫。
“喵！喵！小猫叫道。消防队员抱着小猫。罗恩、苏珊和乔开始爱抚它。接着又是一声尖叫。
“我的小猫！米勒太太说。“她着火了吗？”
