9. A Lost Button

一颗掉落的扣子

Yesterday, I found a button on the floor at school. It was red and round. I picked it up. I thought someone might have lost it. I asked my classmates, but nobody knew whose button it was. I gave it to my teacher. She put it in the lost and found box. Later, a girl from another class came to look for her red button. She was very happy to get it back. I felt good because I helped someone. A small act of kindness makes a big difference.

昨天，我在学校地板上发现一颗扣子。它是红色的、圆圆的。我捡了起来。我想可能是有人掉的。我问了同学们，但没人知道是谁的。我把它交给了老师。老师把它放进了失物招领箱。后来，另一个班的女孩来找她的红扣子。她很高兴找回了它。我也很高兴，因为我帮助了别人。一个小小的善举，能带来很大的不同。
