今天是妈妈的生日，我想亲手做一盘炒饭，给她一个惊喜。
jīn tiān shì mā ma de shēng rì wǒ xiǎng qīn shǒu zuò yì pán chǎo fàn gěi tā yí gè jīng xǐ
Today was Mum's birthday. I wanted to make a plate of fried rice myself, to give her a surprise.
爸爸在旁边教我，先把鸡蛋打散，再把隔夜饭准备好。
bà ba zài páng biān jiāo wǒ xiān bǎ jī dàn dǎ sàn zài bǎ gé yè fàn zhǔn bèi hǎo
Dad stood beside me and showed me how: first beat the eggs, then get the leftover rice ready.
油一热，我把蛋液倒进锅里，“嗞”的一声，油花溅了出来，吓了我一跳。
yóu yí rè wǒ bǎ dàn yè dào jìn guō lǐ zī de yì shēng yóu huā jiàn le chū lái xià le wǒ yí tiào
As soon as the oil was hot, I poured the egg into the wok. With a loud “sizzle”, oil splashed out and gave me a fright.
我没有放弃，系上爸爸的围裙，手忙脚乱地把饭和鸡蛋炒在一起。
wǒ méi yǒu fàng qì jì shàng bà ba de wéi qún shǒu máng jiǎo luàn de bǎ fàn hé jī dàn chǎo zài yì qǐ
I didn't give up. I tied on Dad's apron and, in a great rush, stir-fried the rice and egg together.
最后，我撒了一点盐和葱花，一盘香喷喷的蛋炒饭终于做好了。
zuì hòu wǒ sǎ le yì diǎn yán hé cōng huā yì pán xiāng pēn pēn de dàn chǎo fàn zhōng yú zuò hǎo le
Finally I sprinkled on a little salt and chopped spring onion, and a plate of sweet-smelling egg fried rice was ready at last.
晚饭的时候，我把炒饭端到妈妈面前，大声说：“妈妈，生日快乐！”
wǎn fàn de shí hou wǒ bǎ chǎo fàn duān dào mā ma miàn qián dà shēng shuō mā ma shēng rì kuài lè
At dinner, I carried the fried rice over to Mum and said loudly, “Happy birthday, Mum!”
妈妈尝了一口，笑着说：“哇，有一点咸，不过这是我吃过最好吃的炒饭！”
mā ma cháng le yì kǒu xiào zhe shuō wā yǒu yì diǎn xián bú guò zhè shì wǒ chī guò zuì hǎo chī de chǎo fàn
Mum took a bite and said with a smile, “Wow, it's a little salty, but this is the best fried rice I've ever eaten!”
全家人都夸我长大了，我觉得这是送给妈妈最特别的生日礼物。
quán jiā rén dōu kuā wǒ zhǎng dà le wǒ jué de zhè shì sòng gěi mā ma zuì tè bié de shēng rì lǐ wù
The whole family said I had grown up, and I felt it was the most special birthday present I could give Mum.
