三把黑伞
萨莉是个学生(student)，再过几天就是她母亲的生日了，她想给母亲买(buy)一个价格不高，但漂亮、实用的(niceand useful)礼物(present)。
在她母亲生日之前(before)的一个星期(week)，萨莉匆忙地吃了顿简单的(simple)午餐(lunch)后就出去购物(goshopping)了。看(look)了半个小时后，发现了一个卖(sell)便宜(cheap)雨伞(umbrella)的商店，她决定(decide)买把黑色的(black)伞。一个月(month)之前她母亲把她的伞(hers)丢(lose)了。
她想，“穿(wear)任何颜色(color)的衣服(clothes)，都可以携带(carry)黑伞。”于是她决定买把可爱的(lovely)黑伞带回学校(school)，直到(until)课(class)结束(finish)时才带回家。
那天晚上(evening)．在她乘火车回家的路上(on her way home)，因为午餐吃的很少(have such a small lunch)．她觉得饿(hungry)．于是走进餐车，要了一份三明治(sandwich)和一杯咖啡(a cup of coffee)。
她告诉他们自己为妈妈买的伞不见了，而且下一站(next station)她就得下车了。其他的(other)三位乘客听到(hear)后，都询问她母亲的地址(address)，以便(so that)有人知道拿错了(take it by mistake)伞再拿回来(bring back)时，他们可以把伞寄(send)给她母亲。
在接下来的一周，萨莉收到她母亲的来信(hear from her mother)，上面写道，“非常感谢你送我的漂亮礼物，但你为什么寄给我三把相似的(similar)黑伞呢？
