小主播：Julia Liu（刘晶晶） 四年级 Arthur`s mystery babysitter By Marc Brown We are to go out. “Who`s going to take care of us tonight?” asked D.W. Dad looked at Mom. “It`s surprise,” he said. “We`re used to the regular babysitters,” said D.W. “And they`re used to us,” Arthur added. “We don`t want a mystery babysitter!” D.W. insisted. “All of our regular babysitters were busy,” said Dad. “We were lucky to get this one.” D.W. didn`t feel lucky. “Does our mystery babysitter know about Kate?” she asked. “Some babysitters don`t like baby.” “This babysitter knows all about Kate,” said Dad. “Don`t worry, everything will be fine.” But Arthur and D.W. were worried. “What if the babysitter`s a pirate?” said D.W. “A pirate wouldn`t like it if we made one tiny little mistake,” “Or what if it`s a robot?” D.W. went on. “A really bossy robot that ordered us around.” “What if It`s an alien from outer space?” said Arthur . “An alien in disguise. An alien checking out Earth before a big Invasion.” He gasped. “Or it could even be worse than that!” D.W. gulped. “What could be worse than aliens from outer space?” “Mr.Ratburn,” said Arthur. He shivered. “I`ll bet he`d make us do all kinds of practice homework.” The doorbell rang. “That must be the mystery babysitter now,” said Mr. Read. “Right on time. A good sign, don`t you think, dear?” Mrs. Read nodded. Arthur and D.W. held their breath. The door opened “Grandma Thora!” Arthur and D.W. shouted. “You`re the mystery babysitter?” “Of course,” she said. D.W. jumped up and down. “Grandma Thora, I`m so glad you`re not a pirate… Or a giant robot… Or a space. “Or Mr. Ratburn,” Arthur added. “Thanks, kids,” said Grandma Thora. “I love you, too.”
