A true story
一個真實的故事
Do you like stories? I want to tell you a true story. It happened to a friend of mine a year ago.
While my friend, George, was reading in bed, two thieves climbed into his kitchen.
After they had entered the house, they went into the dining room. It was very dark, so they turned on a torch.
Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them. "What's up? What's up?" someone called. The thieves dropped the torch and ran away as quickly as they could.
George heard the noise and came downstairs quickly.
He turned on the light, but he couldn't see anyone. The thieves had already gone.
But George's parrot, Henry, was still there. "What's up, George?" the called. 'Nothing, Henry,' George said and smiled. 'Go back to sleep.'

你喜歡聽故事嗎?我要告訴你一個真實的故事。這是一年前發(fā)生在我的一個朋友身上的故事。
當我的朋友喬治在床上看書時，兩個小偷爬進了他的廚房。
他們進到屋里后，走進了飯廳。飯廳很暗，于是他們打開了手電筒。
突然他們聽到身后有聲音。“什么事?什么事?”有人叫著。小偷扔下了手電筒，飛快地逃走了。
喬治聽到了響聲，迅速地下了樓。
他開了燈，但不見一個人。小偷逃走了。
但時喬治的鸚鵡亨利仍在那里。“什么事，喬治?”它叫著。“沒事，亨利。”喬治笑著說，“接著睡覺吧。”
“湯米怎么樣?”他問。“我不知道”，我回答說，“今天上午湯米去了3次廁所了，但我還沒看到硬幣!”
