朋友们你们好！今天的零食是一个小故事，叫做“面包和鸡蛋”。
我相信你们很多人都爱吃面包和鸡蛋。
那在这个小故事里面，他们在说什么呢？ 我们一起边吃边学吧！

作者：秦志宁

面包说：“我是白色的，黄鸡蛋，你不要来！”
鸡蛋说：“我是圆的，方面包，你不要来！”
哥哥听了笑起来，他说：“黄鸡蛋在上面，白面包在下面。”
吃了一大口，哥哥说：“好吃，好吃！”

这个短短的故事很有意思对吧？
你觉得面包和鸡蛋，一开始，为什么都说：“你不要来！”？

Calling for Help
PETER: Hey! That car just ran a red light and hit that truck!
GAIL: Is anyone hurt?
PETER: I don’t know … let’s call 911. … Hello? I’d like to report
a car accident near the post office on Charles Street.
It looks like a man is hurt. Yes, it just happened. OK, 
thanks. Bye.
GAIL: What did they say?
PETER: They’re going to send an ambulance and a police car 
right away.
GAIL: Good, they’re here. I hope the man is OK.
PETER: I know. You have to be so careful when you’re driving.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Hey! This expression is used to show surprise. Notice how That car just ran a red light
and hit that truck! is said with a lot of energy.
• Is anyone hurt? This is a yes/no question, so the intonation rises at the end. Notice 
how this question is asked in a worried way.
• 911 is the phone number you dial for emergency services. The person who answers 
will ask you questions about the emergency situation and then send out the necessary 
emergency services, which may include police officers, firefighters and an ambulance.
• I’d like to report a car accident near the post office on Charles Street. Notice how 
the key words “car accident,” “post office” and “Charles Street” are stressed. These are 
the important details that the emergency services need. 
• It just happened is a way of saying “It happened a moment ago.” Notice the stress on 
“just,” which emphasizes that the accident happened very, very recently.
• What did they say? Notice how “say” is emphasized, but the intonation falls at the end 
of the word. This is a “what” question, so the intonation falls at the end

Day 13: Calling for help

Te invito a conocer la España real, la de los lugares que no están en los “highlights” de tus guías de viaje ni en Tripadvisor, a comer en restaurantes donde el menú no esté en tu idioma y dónde la gente cuando te vea, no te hable en inglés, si no que “te hable” con una sonrisa tímida de bienvenida porque piensa que no podéis comunicaros y ¡zas! de repente, tú la sorprendas con un saludo generoso que ¿quién sabe? quizás sea el detonante de una conversación inolvidable para ambos.
