Mrs.Smith often felt lonely when her husband went to work.The room was small and it took her only half an hour to tidy it.She couldn't get up early in the morning,so Mr.Smith had to cook breakfast himself.She usually had some bread and milk for lunch and only cooked spper for herself and her husband.They had no television.Mr.Smith always went to bed at nine.
It was a winter morning.The sun was shining and it was warmer outside than it in the room.The woman sat on the step of a shop,100-king at the busy traffic.At that moment a man with a map in his hand was coming towards her.
"Excuse me,madam," said the man."Could you tell me how to get to the nearest hospital,please?"
Mrs.Smith looked at him up and down."He seems to be a farmer," the woman said to herself."Let me play a joke on him."
Then she turned to him and said,"Lie down in the middle of the street and you'll soon be sent to a hospital."
"Please set an example to me,then," said the man.
She had to tell the way to him and then she said,"I think you have been in a city for the first time.It's much more beautiful than the field.Is that right?"
"Yes,madam," said the farmer with a smile "But I think it was built on the field!"
是这个短文吧~
史密斯夫人在她丈夫去工作的时候经常感到孤单.房间很小,她通常只花费半个小时时间打扫.在早上她不用起得很早,所以,史密斯先生必须自己做早饭.她午饭通常吃些面包,喝牛奶,并且她只给她和她的丈夫做晚饭.他们没有电视.史密斯先生总是九点睡觉.
那是个冬日的早上.阳光明媚,并且外面比屋里暖和很多.史密斯夫人坐在一个商店的台阶上,看忙碌的交通.在那时,一个手拿地图的男人来到她面前.
“打扰一下,女士.”男人说,“你能告诉我怎样到达离着最近的医院的路吗?”
史密斯夫人上下打量着他.“他似乎是个农民.”她自言自语.“让我和他开个玩笑.”
然后,她转身来到男人面前说：“躺在街道中间,一会儿,你将被送到医院.”
“请给我做个榜样.”男人说.
她必须告诉他（去医院的)路,接着她说：“我想你一定是第一次来到这个城市,这儿比野外更美丽,不对吗?”
“是的,夫人.”男人微笑着说,“但我认为它是建立在田野的基础上.”
