有一天，外婆来到我家包粽子。我看着新奇，便照着外婆的样子学起包粽子来。
One day, Grandma came to my house to make Zongzi. Looking at the novelty, I learned to make Zongzi like my grandmother.
我先从准备好的材料里拿出叶子，把它裹成圆锥形，然后再把糯米装到裹好的叶子里。接着我用手指在里面戳一个小洞，把一块肉像埋种子似的埋在糯米里。最后，再把顶部用叶子包上，一个粽子就这样包好了！我正开心，想着包粽子也不难嘛，没想到刚一放下粽子，它就不堪重负散开了，一瞬间把我刚才的骄傲冲刷得一干二净。
I first take out the leaves from the prepared materials, wrap them in a conical shape, and then put glutinous rice into the wrapped leaves. Then I poked a small hole inside with my finger and buried a piece of meat like a seed in the glutinous rice. Finally, wrap the top with leaves, and a Zongzi will be wrapped like this! I was happy. It was not difficult to make Zongzi. Unexpectedly, as soon as I put down Zongzi, it was overwhelmed and scattered, washing away my pride.
我不甘心这小粽子的牺牲，又包了一个粽子，可它还是像它的先辈一样不可避免地散架了。气馁之余，我开始包第三个粽子。这一次，我改进了方法，用了好几片叶子，严严实实地把它裹了起来。等我小心翼翼地放下它时，它终于没有再散架，我的努力没有白费，我开心极了！
I was not reconciled to the sacrifice of this little Zongzi, and made another Zongzi, but it inevitably broke up like its ancestors. Frustrated, I began to make a third Zongzi. This time, I improved the method by using several leaves and wrapping them tightly. When I carefully put it down, it finally didn't fall apart again. My efforts were not in vain, and I was extremely happy!
别看这一个小小的粽子，包起来可没那么容易呢！包粽子这件小事也让我明白了无论干什么事，只要能仔细观察、掌握要领、认真练习、开动脑筋，就一定能做好！
Despite this small Zongzi, it's not so easy to wrap it up! The little thing of making Zongzi also made me understand that no matter what I do, as long as I can carefully observe, master the essentials, seriously practice, and use my brain, I can do it well!
