Who is busy?
It was half-past eight in the morning. The telephone bell rang and Mary went to answer it.
“Hullo, who's that:”she asked?
“It's me――Peter.”
Peter was a friend of Mary's eight-year-old brother, Johnny.
“Oh, hello. Peter. What do you want?”said Mary.
“Can I speak to Johnny?”
“No,”said Mary,“you can't speak to him now. He is busy. He is getting ready for school. He is eating his breakfast. Grandmother is combing his hair. Sister is under the table, putting his shoes on. Mother is getting his books and putting them in his school bag. Goodbye, I’ve got to go now. I have to hold the door open. The school bus is coming.”
到底誰在忙?
早晨8:30。電話鈴響了,瑪麗去接。
“你好,是誰:”她問。
“是我――彼得。”
彼得是瑪麗的八歲哥哥強尼的一位朋友。
“哦,你好,彼得。有什么事么?”瑪麗說。
“我能跟強尼說話嗎?”
“不行,”瑪麗說:“你現在不能跟他說話。他很忙。他正在為去學校做準備。他正在吃早餐,祖母給他梳頭發。姊妹是在桌子下面,為他穿鞋子,母親正在找書并且放到他的書包里。再見,我必須現在走了。我必須把門開著。校車馬上來了”。
