全文 The whole story, with pinyin and English

下了一场大雨,我和哥哥不能出去玩。

xià le yì chǎng dà yǔ wǒ hé gē ge bù néng chū qù wán

There was a heavy downpour, so my big brother and I couldn't go out to play.

哥哥拿来两张纸,教我折纸船。

gē ge ná lái liǎng zhāng zhǐ jiāo wǒ zhé zhǐ chuán

My brother fetched two sheets of paper and taught me to fold paper boats.

不久,雨停了,地上有一个大大的水坑。

bù jiǔ yǔ tíng le dì shang yǒu yí gè dà dà de shuǐ kēng

Soon the rain stopped, and there was a big puddle on the ground.

我们把纸船轻轻地放进水坑里。

wǒ men bǎ zhǐ chuán qīng qīng de fàng jìn shuǐ kēng lǐ

We gently put the paper boats into the puddle.

哥哥说:“我们来比赛,看谁的船跑得快!”

gē ge shuō wǒ men lái bǐ sài kàn shéi de chuán pǎo de kuài

My brother said, “Let's have a race and see whose boat goes faster!”

我们蹲在水坑旁边,用力地吹着自己的小船。

wǒ men dūn zài shuǐ kēng páng biān yòng lì de chuī zhe zì jǐ de xiǎo chuán

We crouched beside the puddle and blew hard on our own little boats.

我的红色小船先到了对面,哥哥的蓝色小船翻了。

wǒ de hóng sè xiǎo chuán xiān dào le duì miàn gē ge de lán sè xiǎo chuán fān le

My red boat reached the other side first, and my brother's blue boat tipped over.

哥哥一点也不生气,我们都哈哈大笑起来。

gē ge yì diǎn yě bù shēng qì wǒ men dōu hā hā dà xiào qǐ lái

My brother wasn't cross at all, and we both burst out laughing.
