好吃懒做的小明

星期天的晚上，小明的妈妈正在做饭，发现没有酱油了，就让小明帮忙去买。小明连忙拿来一本书《安徒生童话》，装模作样地看起来，还说：“等一会儿。我把这一段看完就去买酱油。”

On Sunday night, Xiaoming's mother was cooking. When she found that there was no soy sauce, she asked Xiaoming to help buy it. Xiaoming quickly brought a book "Andersen's fairy tale", pretended to look, and said: "wait a moment. I'll buy soy sauce after reading this passage. "

吃饭后，妈妈洗碗，让小明扫地。小明怕累，又拿起书说：“我把这篇文章看完再扫。”妈妈只好自己去扫地了。

After dinner, my mother washed the dishes and asked Xiao Ming to sweep the floor. Afraid of being tired, Xiao Ming picked up the book and said, "I'll finish reading this article and then scan it." Mother had to sweep the floor herself.

过了一会儿，妈妈见没水了，叫小明去打水。小明竟然还是纹丝不动，说“等一会儿。这书太有意思了！我看完这本书就去打水。”

After a while, my mother saw there was no water. She asked Xiao Ming to fetch water. Xiao Ming still remained motionless and said, "wait a moment. This book is so interesting! I'll fetch water after reading this book. "

当妈妈端来一盘水果让小明吃时，妈妈以为小明还会继续看书的。没想到他却立刻扔下书，说：“我等不及啦！”说完，便到妈妈的水果盘里去抢了一个又大又红的苹果。

When his mother brought a plate of fruit for Xiao Ming to eat, she thought Xiao Ming would continue reading. Unexpectedly, he immediately dropped the book and said, "I can't wait!" After that, I went to my mother's fruit plate and grabbed a big red apple.

看来，小明并不是被书所吸引，而是不想干家务。他真是个大懒虫！

It seems that Xiaoming is not attracted by books, but does not want to do housework. He's such a slacker!
