Little brother and kitten
Ke Yan
My family has a little brother,/smart and naughty,/climbing high and low every day,/covered in mud. /Mom told him to wash his face,/Pretending not to hear him run; /Dad looked at him with a mirror./He closed his eyes and giggled. /Sister brought a Xiaohua Mall,/Clapped her paws and licked her fur,/Her eyes narrowed. "Great, great, great,/Who will play with me and hug me?" /My brother held out his little black hand,/The kitten jumped back hurriedly,/The beard pursed its head and shook it,/"Oh, no! Too dirty, too dirty, I don't want it! " /Sister laughed,/Mom and Dad frowned,/Little brother was ashamed:/"Mom! Mom! Give me a bath! "
This poem vividly shows the theme by describing the plot that my little brother is unsanitary, not only adults don't like it, but even kittens don't play with him.
