Step 1 Pick mom’s favorite Pick one of mom’s favorite breakfast foods.

第一步：挑选妈妈最喜欢的东西。

Cereal? A frozen waffle? Toast with jelly? Remember, leaving a big mess in the kitchen won’t be a very nice gift for her!

选择一种妈妈最喜爱的早餐。麦片粥?冷冻华夫饼?果酱吐司?记住，过后把厨房弄得一片狼藉可不是什么好事!

Quick Tip:

小提示：

If you need to use the toaster or microwave, ask your dad or an older brother or sister to help you.

如果要用到烤面包机或微波炉，向你的爸爸或哥哥姐姐寻求帮助。

Step 2 Make a menu

第二步：制作一份菜单。

Take a piece of colored construction paper and write a fancy menu for the tray, including the date. It will be a nice keepsake for Mom.

用一张彩纸，为饭菜制作一份精美的菜单，写上日期，好让妈妈保存起来。

Step 3 Prepare the tray

第三步：准备托盘

Before you get the food ready, prepare the tray. Spread a cloth napkin or a clean dish towel on the tray. Add a napkin and Mom’s good cutlery.

在饭做好之前，准备托盘。在托盘上铺上一层布餐巾或一条干净的洗碗巾。再放一张餐巾纸和妈妈的餐具。

Step 4 Add a flower Add a flower.

第四步：送上一朵花

If you can’t pick a fresh one, see if there’s a fake arrangement in the house that you can pluck one from. Put it in a bud vase, if you have one. If not, a tall drinking glass will do just as nicely.

送妈妈一朵花。如果你找不到一朵鲜花，看看屋子里有没有假花，看看是不是能抽出一朵先用用。有花瓶，就把花插在花瓶里。没有花瓶，就插在一个喝水的高一点的杯子里也可以。

Quick Tip:

小提示：

Don’t serve breakfast too early—part of your present should be letting Mom sleep in!

别给妈妈端去早餐太早了——你的礼物的一部分就是让妈妈睡个懒觉!

Step 5 Pour juice

第五步：倒果汁

Pour mom a small glass of juice and put it on the tray.

为妈妈倒一小杯果汁，放在托盘上。

Step 6 Add extras

第六步：放点别的东西。

Add whatever extras mom may need—pats of butter, a tiny pot of jam, a small pitcher of syrup. If you have someone older helping you, heating the syrup is a nice touch.

放上任何妈妈可能需要的东西——几块黄油，一小罐果酱，一小罐糖浆。如果有比你大的人帮你的话，加热一下糖浆会更好。

Quick Tip:

小提示：

If you’re including butter, cut a pat and then use a cheese spreader to cut it into a heart shape.

如果你还准备了黄油， 切一小块而，用奶酪抹刀把它切成心形。

Step 7 Prepare the food

第七步：准备食物

When everything else is in place, prepare the food. You want to make sure you can serve it warm—unless cold cereal is on the menu, of course!

一切就绪后，准备食物。确保端过去的时候食物是热乎的——当然菜单上写的冷麦片粥除外。

Step 8 Sit with Mom Sit with Mom as she enjoys her breakfast in bed.

第八步：妈妈在床上吃饭时，坐在她旁边陪她。

The only thing Moms like better than breakfast in bed is spending time with you!

妈妈比在床上享用早餐还喜欢的就是和你在一起。
