Tom lived in a town near New York. His father had a shop there and his mother was a doctor. He was seven years old this year and began to go to school this September. It was a little far(远的) from their shop and his father drove a car to take him to school five days a week. So he was never(从不) late for class and his teachers likes him very much. It was Monday that day. Miss Green was teaching them to count(数数) from one to ten in the morning. Tom was studying hard. Soon he could count them. Green was happy and asked, "How many people are there in your family, Tom?" Tom stood up and said, "Two, Miss." "Who are they?" "My father and my mother." "Oh," Miss Green was surprised. She then said, "There’re three people in your family." "But now I’m not at home. I’m at school, you know!” |
