Sisters (姐俩好)

每当看到安娜和姐姐在一起, 我心里就暖洋洋的,这姐俩真是好啊!姐姐宠爱妹妹,妹妹崇拜姐姐。很多时候姐姐都是无微不至的照看妹妹。姐姐经常给妹妹做饭,洗澡,讲故事,并领着她睡觉。安娜非常保护姐姐,有时爸爸故意对姐姐不好,她就会大声说,“不行,这是我的姐姐!”。当然了,有的时候姐姐也会嫌妹妹烦,但是都很短暂。It has been amazing how well Anna gets along with her big sister Leah. Leah simply adores Anna and Anna just loves Leah. It is very heartwarming to see how Leah treats Anna. A lot of the time, Leah takes cares of Anna. She cooks for her, takes a bath for her, reads her stories, and puts her into bed. Anna is also very protective of Leah. If we do something “mean” to Leah, she will say very loudly “No, it is my Leah”. Of course, there are times that Leah gets annoyed by Anna, but those are very short moments.
