包餃子 Making Chinese Dumpling

耶誕節假期，林友友請朋友到家裡來玩兒，

During Christmas holidays, You-you  Lin invited many friends over to his house,

大家要跟林媽媽學包餃子。

Everyone wanted to learn how to make dumplings from Mrs. Lin.

林媽媽從冰箱裡拿出幾包餃子皮

Mrs. Lin took out a several packages of dumpling wrappers from the refrigerator.

和一大碗有肉、有菜的餃子餡。

And a large bowl of dumpling stuffing made from pork and vegetables.

林媽媽說：來！每個人先把一湯匙的餃子餡放在餃子皮上，然後再把皮折起來。

Mrs. Lin said: here! Everyone put a tablespoon of the dumpling filling on the dumpling wrapper first,

Then fold the wrapper over.

大家學得很快，不一會兒，已經包好了一百多個。

Everyone learned quickly, and very soon, more than one hundred pieces had been wrapped.

林媽媽煮了一大鍋水，等水開了，

Mrs. Lin boiled a large pot of water, after the water boiled,

大家幫忙把餃子放進鍋裡,不一會兒，餃子就煮熟了。

Everyone helped put the dumplings into the pot,   after a while, the dumplings were cooked.

好香啊！大家吃着自己包的饺子，

They smell wonderful! Enjoying the dumplings, they made by themselves,

覺得特別美味可口。 Everyone thought they tasted especially delicious.

林媽媽笑著說：快過年了，誰在餃子里吃到杏仁，

明年一定很幸運！

Mrs. Lin said with smile: “Chinese New Year will soon be here! Whoever finds an almond in your dumplings, you will be very lucky next year!

她才說完，每個人都吃到了一兩顆。

By the time she finished speaking, everyone bit into one or two pieces of almond.

友友說：一定是我媽媽包的。

You-you said: My mom must have put them there.

大家高高興興地說，謝謝林媽媽！

Everyone merrily said, thank you Mrs. Lin!
