Onher way home in the train that evening she felt hungry because she had such14 a small lunch that she went along15 to the buffet16 car( 餐车) for a sandwich and a cup of coffee.
 
Sally told them her mother’s umbrella was missing18 and she had to get off17 at the next station.
 
After the three other passengers19 heard the story, they asked her for her mother’s address so that they could send the umbrella to her if somebody20 had taken it by mistake21, and brought22 it back after Sally had got23 out of the train.
 
The next week, Sally heard from her mother. It said24, “Thank you very much for your lovely presents, but why did25 you sendme three similar26 black umbrellas?”

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？
