Mr Jones
had1 a
few2 day's holiday, so he
said3, "I am
going4 to go to the mountains by train."
He put on his best clothes,
took5 a small bag, went to the station and
got6 into the train. He had beautiful hat, and he often put his head out of the window
during7 the trip and looked at the mountains. But the wind
pulled8 his hat
off9.
Mr Jones quickly took his old bag and threw that out of the window too. The other people in the
carriage10 laughed. "Is your bag going to bring your beautiful hat back?" they asked.
"No," Mr Jones answered, "but there's no name and no address in my hat, and there's name and an address on the bag. Someone's going to find both of them near each other, and he's going to send me the bag and the hat."
琼斯先生有几天假期,于是他说:“我要乘火车山区度假。”
他穿上最好的衣服,拿了一个手提包,到了火车站上了车。他戴了一顶漂亮的帽子。在旅途中不时地把头伸向车窗外观看山中的风景,结果他的帽子被风吹跑了。
琼斯先生立即拿起自己的拎包,把它也扔到了窗外。车厢里的乘客都笑了,他们问琼斯先生:“难道拎包会把你漂亮的帽子找回来吗?”
“不会。”琼斯先生说,“但是,我的帽子上面没有姓名也没有地址,可我的包上却又有姓名又有地址。有人会在不远的地方发现这两样东西,然后他会把帽子连同帽子一起寄给我的。”
