Sally was
a student. Her mother's birthday is coming. She wanted to buy her a nice and
cheap present(礼物).
She went
shopping after a quick and simple lunch. After she looked for half an hour, she
found a shop. It was selling cheap umbrellas, and she decided to take a black one.
She
thought, "Mom can carry it when she is wearing any clothes." So she
bought a lovely black umbrella and took it to school with her.
On her
way home on the train she felt hungry because she ate little for lunch. So she
went to the buffet car(餐车). She left the umbrella on
her seat. But when she got back. She couldn't see the umbrella!
Sally
began to cry. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what was
the matter. She told them she couldn't find the black umbrella, and she had to
get off at the next station. After the three passengers heard this, they asked
her for her mother's address(地址)so that they could send
the umbrella to her if someone took it and brought it back.
After a
week, Sally got a letter from her mother. It said "Thank you very much for
your lovely gifts, but why do you send me three black umbrellas?"
