Amos asked his mother whether they could have a video.
I’m afraid we can’t afford one, sighed his mother.
But on the following day in came Amos, staggering beneath the weight of a brand-new video.
How on earth did you pay for that? gasped his mother.
Easy, Mum. replied Amos, I sold the television!
艾莫斯問媽媽他們是否能買一臺錄像機。
恐怕我們還買不起,媽媽嘆息著說。
可第二天當(dāng)艾莫斯回來時,他搖搖晃晃地搬著一臺全新的錄像機。
你究竟是哪兒來的錢買這東西?媽媽大吃一驚,喘著氣說。
媽媽,這簡單, 艾曼斯回答。我把電視機給賣了!
