Mon petit poisson

My little fish

J’ai un petit poisson. 

Il s’appelle Jojo. Jojo est orange et noir. 

Il a une belle nageoire et une petite bouche. 

Jojo aime nager dans son aquarium. 

Chaque matin, il attend avec impatience parce qu’il a faim.

I have a little fish.

His name is Jojo. Jojo is orange and black.

He has a beautiful fin and a small mouth.

Jojo loves swimming in his aquarium.

Every morning, he waits excitedly because he is hungry.

Jojo habite dans un petit aquarium. 

Il est sur la table de ma chambre, juste à côté de ma fenêtre. 

Dans l’aquarium, il y a de l’eau propre, un joli rocher et des plantes vertes. 

Jojo aime se cacher derrière le rocher, surtout quand il y a du bruit. Il a un bel espace pour nager, et il est très content de sa maison.

Jojo lives in a small aquarium.

It is on the table in my room, right next to the window.

In the aquarium, there is clean water, a pretty rock, and green plants.

Jojo likes to hide behind the rock, especially when it’s noisy.

He has a nice space to swim, and he is very happy with his home. 

A little boy sitting at a wooden table, looking at his fish in his fish bowl.

Le matin, je donne à manger à mon petit poisson. 

Il mange vite ! 

Il est toujours content. 

Mais un jour, je regarde mon bocal… 

Oh non ! Jojo n’est pas là ! Où est-il ? 

Je regarde partout dans ma chambre : sous la table, sous mon lit, derrière la chaise… Je ne voit rien. 

Je suis très inquiet parce que je ne sais pas où il est.

In the morning, I feed my little fish. He eats quickly!

He is always happy.

But one day, I look at my bowl…

Oh no! Jojo is not there!

Where is he?

I look everywhere in my room: under the table, under my bed, behind the chair… I don’t see anything.

I’m very worried because I don’t know where he is.

Soudain, j’entends un petit bruit… plouf plouf. 

Je m’approche de l’aquarium et je vois Jojo ! 

Il se cache derrière le rocher. 

Quel coquin ! 

Il voulait jouer à cache-cache! 

Je rigole et je suis tellement content. 

Suddenly, I hear a little noise… plop plop.

I walk over to the aquarium, and I see Jojo!

He is hiding behind the rock.

What a little rascal!

He wanted to play hide and seek!

I laugh, and I’m so happy.
