En: The summer sunlight sprinkled over the green fields of the farm, filling the air with the scent of grass and a gentle breeze.
Zh: 姐姐杰和弟弟明住在这片美丽的农场上，每天忙碌而幸福。

Zh: 他们跑过茂密的草地，探索着农场的每一个角落。
En: In the morning, Jie and Ming decided to play in the fields not far from home.
Zh: 他们跑过茂密的草地，探索着农场的每一个角落。
En: They ran across the lush grass, exploring every corner of the farm.
Zh: 突然，明停下了脚步，脸色变得苍白。
En: Suddenly, Ming stopped and his face turned pale.
Zh: 他捂住胸口，呼吸变得急促，这是他哮喘发作的症状。
En: He clutched his chest, and his breathing became rapid, a symptom of his asthma attack.
Zh: 杰吓坏了。
En: Jie was terrified.
Zh: 他知道他们现在离家太远，如果把明搬回家可能会使情况更糟。
En: He knew they were too far from home, and carrying Ming back could make things worse.
Zh: 杰飞快地跑向最近的邻居家，那个邻居是一个善良的老人，家里备有哮喘药物和吸入器。
En: Jie quickly ran to the nearest neighbor’s house, an elderly man known for his kindness, who kept asthma medication and an inhaler at home.
Zh: 呼吸着急促的杰敲开了邻居的门，
En: Breathing heavily, Jie knocked on the neighbor's door.
Zh: “明发作哮喘了！我需要药物！”
En: "Ming's having an asthma attack! I need the medication!"
Zh: 老人立刻拿出药物和吸入器，杰飞奔回到明身边。
En: The old man immediately took out the medication and inhaler, and Jie rushed back to Ming's side.
Zh: 他小心地给明使用吸入器，看着明的呼吸逐渐平稳下来。
En: He carefully helped Ming use the inhaler, watching as Ming's breathing gradually steadied.
Zh: 杰松了一口气，他的心跳也渐渐恢复正常。
En: Jie sighed with relief as his heartbeat slowly returned to normal.
Zh: “谢谢你，哥哥。”明虚弱但感激地说。
En: “Thank you, brother,” Ming said weakly but gratefully.

En: Although the race wasn't as intense as it had been in previous years, Jie and Ming together enjoyed this special festival.
Zh: 在村民们欢乐的歌声中，他们感到无比的幸福。
En: In the joyful singing of the villagers, they felt extremely happy.
Zh: 经过这次经历，杰不再怀疑自己的能力。
En: Through this experience, Jie no longer doubted his abilities.
Zh: 他知道，无论遇到多么困难的情况，他都能保护好弟弟。
En: He knew that no matter how difficult the situation, he could protect his brother.
Zh: 他学会了相信自己，这不仅是他成长的象征，也是他们兄弟情感的升华。
En: He learned to believe in himself, which was not just a sign of his growth, but also an elevation of their brotherly bond.
