Finding the French Fry Friend

from News For Kids · host ICRT

Finding the French Fry Friend In a small town in the U.S., there's a barbecue restaurant. It has delicious French fries. One day, a little kid called. The kid wanted fries. But… the kid didn't give a name. 美國小鎮有一間烤肉餐廳接到一位小朋友的電話說要吃薯條,但是她沒有留下名字。 The kid called many times. But the kid never gave a name! The restaurant owners wanted to give the kid some fries! But who was their French Fry Friend? 這位小朋友打了很多通,餐廳主人很想給她薯條,但她沒有講名字,到底是誰呢? Hmmmm. Maybe a friend – or a friend’s friend – knew the kid. So they told their story on social media. 周圍的朋友可能認識,於是餐廳主人把這件事分享到社群媒體。 They were surprised! People in Australia, Canada, the U.K., Portugal, Spain, Mexico, Kenya, and other places saw the story! Everyone wanted the little French Fry Friend to get fries! 澳洲、加拿大、英國、葡萄牙、西班牙、墨西哥、肯亞以及其他地方的人居然都有看到這篇貼文,大家都想讓這個小朋友吃到薯條。 The kid called and called for a week. Then the owners found out that their French Fry Friend was… THREE little girls! They talked to the girls' mom. They met their French Fry Friends. The owners were happy. And the French Fry Friends finally had fries! 這個小孩打電話打了一個星期。後來餐廳主人發現,其實是三個小女孩打的電話! 於是找到了她們的媽媽,讓孩子們終於吃到薯條。 These three little girls wanted fries VERY much. They got fries… and new friends.
