《English Translation》

小刚: 小宝, today I saw a news story about a child who couldn't go to kindergarten because he didn't have a birth certificate.
小宝: What's a birth certificate?
小刚: A birth certificate is like your ID card. It says when you were born and who your parents are. With it, you can go to school and see a doctor.
小宝: Then why didn't the child have a birth certificate?
小刚: Because his parents separated, and his mother took the birth certificate. But she wouldn't give it to the child and wouldn't help the child get a new one. The child couldn't go to kindergarten without this certificate.
小宝: Why didn't the mother give the child the birth certificate if she took it?
小刚: Because the mother and father had a fight, and there were unhappy things between them. But the court said that parents can't prevent their child from going to kindergarten because of their own fights. So the court ordered the mother to return the birth certificate to the child.
小宝: Oh, I understand. A child must have a birth certificate.
