A Good Boy

     Little Robert asked his mother for two cents. "What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?" 

    " I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered. 

    " You're a good boy," said the mother proudly. "Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?"

    " She is the one who sells the candy."

好孩子

    小罗伯特向妈妈要两分钱。 “昨天给你的钱干什么了？” 

   “我给了一个可怜的老太婆，”他回答说。“你真是个好孩子，”妈妈骄傲地说。

   “再给你两分钱。可你为什么对那位老太太那么感兴趣呢？” 

   “她是个卖糖果的。”
