Jerry
has a happy family — his parents, his sister and he. They live in a small town,
and it is not far from the city.
One
day, Jerry goes to a shopping centre in the city to buy a new pair of trousers.
There are too many people in the shop, so he doesn't want to try them on there.
He
goes back home and tries on the trousers in his bedroom. They are too long for
him and he wants to ask his mother or sister to shorten (剪短) them for him. When he goes to his
mother, she is cooking lunch and doesn't have any time to help him. He goes to
his sister, but she is washing clothes and shoes. "The new trousers are
too long. Can you help me to shorten them five centimetres?" His mother
and sister are busy, and they don't say anything. Jerry goes out to fly kites
with his classmates.
Jerry's
father is not busy, so he helps his son to shorten the trousers and plays
computer games again in the study. When his mother finishes cooking, she goes
to Jerry's bedroom and helps him to shorten the trousers five centimetres, too.
But she doesn't tell her daughter about it and goes out.
After
an hour, Jerry's sister remembers her brother's trousers. So she goes quietly
into the room and also helps her brother to shorten the trousers five
centimetres.
Can
you guess the look on Jerry's face when he wears the trousers next time?
