苹果熟了
苹果熟了，果园里的苹果红得像小朋友的脸蛋。小明最喜欢吃苹果，但他今天想给奶奶摘一些水果。他先摘了三个苹果放进篮子，又看到香蕉树上的香蕉黄澄澄的。小明小心地摘下两根香蕉，还自言自语说：“香蕉和苹果都是奶奶爱吃的。”
接着，他走到橙子树下。橙子圆圆的，闻起来很香。小明摘了四个橙子，又发现旁边的葡萄架上挂满了一串串紫色的葡萄。葡萄像小小的珍珠，小明摘了一小串葡萄，轻轻放进篮子。这时，他看见草莓田里的草莓红得发亮，草莓的香味飘过来。小明又摘了十颗草莓，草莓和苹果、香蕉、橙子、葡萄放在一起，篮子里变得五彩缤纷。
回到家，奶奶看到这么多水果，开心地笑了。她拿起一个苹果咬了一口，又剥了一根香蕉给小明。小明说：“奶奶，我还摘了橙子、葡萄和草莓，您都尝尝。”奶奶摸摸小明的头说：“你真是个懂事的孩子。”小明心里甜甜的，像吃了草莓一样。他决定明天再去果园，给奶奶摘更多苹果和橙子。

The apples are ripe
The apples are ripe. The apples in the orchard are as red as children’s faces. Xiaoming likes apples the most, but today he wants to pick some fruit for his grandmother. He first picked three apples and put them in the basket. Then he saw the bananas on the banana tree, bright yellow. Xiaoming carefully picked two bananas and muttered to himself: “Bananas and apples are both what Grandma loves to eat. “
Next, he walked to the orange tree. The oranges were round and smelled very fragrant. Xiaoming picked four oranges. Then he discovered that the grape trellis next to it was covered with clusters of purple grapes. The grapes looked like little pearls. Xiaoming picked a small cluster of grapes and gently placed them in the basket. At this moment, he saw the strawberries in the strawberry field shining red. The fragrance of strawberries drifted over. Xiaoming picked ten more strawberries. The strawberries, together with the apples, bananas, oranges, and grapes, made the basket colorful.
When he got home, Grandma saw so much fruit and smiled happily. She picked up an apple and took a bite, then peeled a banana for Xiaoming. Xiaoming said: “Grandma, I also picked oranges, grapes, and strawberries. Please try them all. ” Grandma touched Xiaoming’s head and said: “You are such a thoughtful child. ” Xiaoming felt sweet inside, as if he had eaten a strawberry. He decided to go to the orchard again tomorrow to pick more apples and oranges for Grandma.
