An Ad
After a beautiful purebred puppy wandered onto our back porch and made himself at home， my husband composed an ad for the "Lost and found" column of the local newspaper. It read： "A puppy， male， approximately nine months old， no collar， very friendly， found on Rockbridge Road. "
I feared all the detail might encourage an unscrupulous person to claim the dog. As I methodically explained why each clue revealed too much， my husband dutifully crossed out the words. Finally， in frustration， he rewrote the ad， reducing it to a single sentence that I couldn't refute.
It read： "Guess what I found？"
Notes：
（1） purebred adj.純種的 （8） methodically adj.有條不紊地
（2） puppy adj.小狗；幼犬 （9） clue n.線索
（3） porch n.門廊 （10） reveal v.透露
（4） compose v.構思；作 （11） dutifully adv.盡職地
（5） approximately adv.將近 （12） cross out畫橫線以刪除
（6） cellar n.項圈 （13） frustration n.挫折
（7） unscrupulous adj.無恥的； （14） refute v.反駁
