日课｜英文故事：Casey Can
Casey Can
Mr. and Mrs. Dog had a puppy named Casey. They took him to school. The teacher looked at Casey and said, “Sit.”
“I can’t,” said Casey.
The teacher gave Casey a curious look. “Roll over.”
“I can’t,” said Casey.
Mr. and Mrs. Dog frowned. “Every time we ask Casey to do something, he says he can’t,” they cried. “Lie down, Casey.”
“I can’t,” said Casey.
The teacher thought and thought. Why couldn’t Casey sit or roll over or lie down?
Finally, she decided to try something. “Shake hands, please.”
At once, Casey held up his brown and black paw for a shake. “I can,” he said, “because you said please.”
狗先生和狗太太有一只小狗叫凯西。他们带他去上学。老师看着凯西说：“坐下。”
“不行，”凯西说。
老师好奇地看了凯西一眼。”翻个身。”
“不行，”凯西说。
狗先生和狗太太皱着眉头，说：“每次我们让凯西做点什么，他都说他做不到。”他们喊道：“躺下，凯西。”
“不行，”凯西说。
老师想了又想。为什么凯西不能坐下、不能翻身、不能躺下？
最后，她决定试试看。”请握手。”
凯西马上举起他那棕黑色的爪子想握手。“我可以，”他说，“因为你说了请。”
