静夜思

[唐] 李 白
táng lǐ bái

床 前 明 月 光，

疑 是 地 上 霜。

举 头 望 明 月，
 
dī tóu sī gù xiāng
低 头 思 故 乡。
 
床前那一片月光，就好像是在地上铺上了一层白霜。抬头望着天上的那一轮明月，低下头不禁深深地思念起久别的故乡。

Thoughts on a Quiet Night
[Tang Dynasty] Li Bai
 
Before my bed lies a pool of moonlight,
I could take it for frost on the ground.
 
I lift my head to gaze at the bright moon,
Then bow my head and long for my hometown.

The verb 'to arrive'

In this story, a snowman named Jingle is a selfish husband whose job is more important than his marriage. This is Part 4 of 5. 

The dance group had met in the morning for a quick rehearsal. Today was their last day to practice before the big show. 

Even though the other dancers commented that it was already good enough, Jingle and the winking snowwoman worked very hard on their close embrace. 

Then, while everyone was packing up, getting ready to go distribute their flyers… 

Ding-ding ding-ding 

The ringing came from behind Jingle. He said, “Ugh… Doesn’t Candy know how stressed I am? What does she want now?” 

He turned, but instead of his wife, he saw his snowman neighbour. Confused, Jingle went over to talk. 

“You look disturbed,” said Jingle. 

“It’s Candy. She’s been hit by a car.” 

Jingle was shocked. He noticed the neighbour was holding a candy cane. 

“This is her cane. I picked it up after the accident. I immediately called an ambulance and she was taken straight to the hospital. It’s bad, Jingle, really bad. Come with me, let’s go together.” 

Jingle hesitated. He looked at the candy cane, then at the dance group in the distance. Then back at the candy cane. 

“Thank you for bringing me this. But I can’t go with you. I’ve got to distribute these flyers today. It’s our last chance, and the whole group is counting on me. They need me. Tell Candy I’ll be there after work.”
