children. One little fellow asked if he might have two.
"Sorry," the clerk said,"but we give only one balloon to each child. Do you have a brother at home?"
The youngster was always truthful , but he wanted another balloon badly. "No." he replied reGREtfully,"but my sister does, and I'd like one for him."
他想要两只气球。
儿童服装店正在向顾客的孩子们赠送气球。其中一个小男孩问是否能够得到两只气球。
“对不起,”售货员说,“我们只赠给每个孩子一只气球,你家里有弟弟吗?”
小家伙一贯很诚实,可他特别想再要一只气球。“没有”,他遗憾地说,“可我姐姐有个弟弟,我想给他要一只。”
