Story Transcript:

Zh: 在一个被秋天色彩包围的小村庄里，坐落着一个孤儿院。
En: In a small village surrounded by the colors of autumn, there was an orphanage.

Zh: 院子里落满五颜六色的秋叶，是孩子们玩耍的好地方。
En: The courtyard was covered with colorful autumn leaves, making it a perfect place for the children to play.

Zh: 在这金秋时节，孩子们正兴致勃勃地玩“捉迷藏”。
En: During this golden autumn season, the children were eagerly playing hide and seek.

Zh: 小明是个顽皮又聪明的孩子，他总是想着要捉弄他的朋友。
En: Xiaoming was a mischievous yet clever child, always thinking of ways to trick his friends.

Zh: 今天，他有个特别的计划。
En: Today, he had a special plan.

Zh: 游戏开始了，小明决定找一个特别的藏身之处。
En: The game started, and Xiaoming decided to find a special hiding spot.

Zh: 他看到院子角落里有一大堆秋叶，心想：“这可是个完美的藏身点。”
En: He saw a large pile of autumn leaves in the corner of the courtyard and thought, "This is a perfect hiding spot."

Zh: 他悄悄地钻进叶子堆里，不留下一点痕迹。
En: He quietly crawled into the pile of leaves, leaving no trace behind.

Zh: 于是，他藏得像是消失了一样。
En: Thus, he was hidden as if he had disappeared.

Zh: 李伟是个负责的孩子，总是试图让大家保持在正轨上。
En: Li Wei was a responsible child, always trying to keep everyone on track.

Zh: 他认真地寻找小明，但始终找不到。
En: He searched carefully for Xiaoming, but couldn't find him.

Zh: 陈琳是个容易被逗乐的孩子，他乐呵呵地跟着李伟到处找。
En: Chen Lin was a child who was easily amused, and he followed Li Wei around with a cheerful attitude.

Zh: 时间一点一点地过去，小明仍然杳无踪影。
En: Time slowly passed, and Xiaoming was still nowhere to be found.

Zh: 不知不觉，天色开始变暗，李伟和陈琳渐渐担心起来。
En: Before they knew it, it began to get dark, and Li Wei and Chen Lin started to worry.

Zh: 他们彼此对视了一下，心里开始想着，或许小明是真的迷路了。
En: They exchanged glances, beginning to think perhaps Xiaoming was truly lost.

Zh: 这下该怎么办呢？
En: What should they do now?

Zh: 就在他们要去寻求大人的帮助时，小明突然从那堆秋叶中跳了出来，把李伟和陈琳吓了一跳。
En: Just as they were about to seek help from an adult, Xiaoming suddenly jumped out from the pile of autumn leaves, giving Li Wei and Chen Lin a fright.

Zh: “哈哈哈，吓到你们了！”小明得意地笑着说。
En: "Hahaha, scared you guys!" Xiaoming said proudly with a laugh.

Zh: 他们三个人一起大笑起来，李伟和陈琳才明白这是小明的一个恶作剧。
En: The three of them laughed together, and Li Wei and Chen Lin realized it was one of Xiaoming's pranks.

Zh: 天慢慢黑了下来，是时候回去享受中秋的月饼和赏灯了。
En: As night slowly fell, it was time to go back and enjoy the Mid-Autumn festival mooncakes and lanterns.

Zh: 孩子们围坐在一起，吃着甜美的月饼，手里提着亮闪闪的灯笼，心里充满了温暖和欢乐。
En: The children sat together, eating sweet mooncakes, holding bright lanterns in their hands, their hearts filled with warmth and joy.

Zh: 小明望着他的朋友，心里明白了一个道理：虽然把自己藏得很巧妙很有趣，但有时与朋友一起欢声笑语更为快乐。
En: Xiaoming looked at his friends and understood a truth: although hiding cleverly and having fun was enjoyable, sometimes sharing laughter with friends is even happier.

Zh: 中秋的月亮照耀着大地，好像也在微笑着祝福他们。
En: The mid-autumn moon shone on the earth, as if smiling and blessing them.

Zh: 这正是一个团圆和美好的夜晚。
En: It was indeed a night of reunion and joy.
