A week before his birthday, Mrs. Rose bought her son Paul a new bicycle and hid it in the shed.
"Now Nacy," she said to his sister, "don't go telling Paul about his present."
The next day, Paul said to his mother, "I like the new bicycle, mum!"
Mrs. Nacy was furious with Nacy. "I thought I told you not to tell him." she said.
"I didn't," said Nacy. "I showed him."
罗丝太太在她的儿子保罗生日的前一个星期给他买了一辆新自行车,并把它藏在车棚里。
“听着,南茜,”她对保罗的妹妹说,“别告诉保罗这件礼物的事儿。”
第二天,保罗对他妈妈说:“我非常喜欢这辆新自行车,妈。”
罗丝太太非常生气地对南茜说:“不是告诉你别跟他说这件事吗?”
“我没有跟他说。”南茜说,“我只是让他看了看。”
