Trascrizione

[Narrator]: 

One afternoon, Caillou and Sarah were playing in Sarah's backyard.


[Sarah's Mom]: 

Sarah! Supper time!


[Sarah]: 

Twenty-eight. Twenty-nine. Thirty. Yay! I did it!


[Caillou]: 

Let me try now.


[Sarah]: 

You're too little to jump rope.


[Caillou]: 

Show me how, Sarah.


[Sarah's Mom]: 

It's time for supper, Sarah.


Come in and set the table, please.


[Sarah]: 

I'll show you how another day.


Bye, Caillou.


[Sarah's Mom]: 

Why don't you have supper with us, Caillou?


I'll call your mommy and ask her.


Your mom says you can stay, Caillou.


Why don't you help Sarah set the table?


[Sarah]: 

Just put them in front of each place.


[Caillou]: 

What are they?


[Sarah]: 

They're chopsticks.


You eat with them like this.


[Caillou]: 

Wh-What's this?


[Sarah]: 

It's Chinese noodles and vegetables.


[Caillou]: 

I love noodles, but I don't like vegetables.


What's this?


[Sarah]: 

It's an egg roll.


Don't worry, it's not a vegetable.


[Caillou]: 

Oops.


[Sarah's Dad]: 

Good shot, Caillou.


[Sarah's Mom]: 

Chopsticks can be a bit tricky at first.


[Narrator]: 

Caillou learned that it takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using chopsticks.


[Caillou]: 

Oops.


[Narrator]: 

Sarah's cat Ollie was very happy that Caillou had come for supper.


[Sarah]: 

I eat my egg roll with my hands.


[Sarah's Mom]: 

Maybe you should use your fork now, Caillou.


[Caillou]: 

Okay


[Sarah's Dad]: 

Eat your bok choy, Sarah.


It's good for you.


[Sarah's Mom]: 

Look, Sarah.


Caillou is eating all of his.


[Sarah]: 

Bok choy is a vegetable, Caillou.


You hate vegetables.


[Caillou]: 

I like Chinese vegetables.


Is that a dragon?


[Sarah's Dad]: 

Yes.


It's a Chinese dragon.


Would you like to try it on?


Ooh, you make a very scary dragon, Caillou.


[Sarah]: 

Green is my favorite.


[Caillou]: 

Green is my favorite, too.


[Sarah's Dad]: 

Caillou, what are you doing?


[Caillou]: 

I want to try the chopsticks.


[Sarah's Dad]: 

Well, you can't eat this with chopsticks.


[Sarah]: 

It's much too slippery.


Wow.


Oops.


[Caillou]: 

Show me how, Caillou.


[Narrator]: 

Caillou was able to show Sarah something new.
