Sally was a student. It was going to be her mother"s birthday. She wanted to buy her a present that
would be nice and useful but not expensive. A week before her mother"s birthday, she went shopping
after a quick and simple lunch. When she had been looking for half an hour, she found a shop that was
selling cheap umbrellas (伞), and decided to take a black one, since her mother had lost hers the month
before.
She thought, "You could carry that when you are wearing clothes of any color." So she decided to
buy a lovely black umbrella and took it back to school with her until her classes had finished.
On her way back home in the train that evening, she felt hungry because she had such a small lunch
that she went along to the buffet car (餐车) for another sandwich and cup of coffee. She had left the
black umbrella above her seat in the compartment (车厢), but when she got back, it had gone! When
she had left the compartment, there had been no other passengers (乘客) in it, but now there were three.
Sally began to cry when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there. The other passengers felt very
sorry for her and asked what the matter was. She told them that the black umbrella she had bought for
her mother was gone, and that she had to get out at the next station. After the three other passengers
heard it, they asked her for her mother"s address so that they could sent the umbrella to her if someone
had taken it by mistake and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.
The next week, Sally heard from her mother. It said, "Thank you very much for your lovely presents,
but why did you send me three black umbrellas?"
