Christmas cards
It was two weeks before Christmas, and Mrs. Smith was very busy. She bought a lot of Christmas cards to send to her friends and to her husband’s friends, and put them on the table in the living-room. Then, when her husband came home from work, she said to him, ’Here are the Christmas cards for our friends, and here are some stamps, a pen and our book of addresses. Will you please write the cards while I am cooking the dinner?’
Mr. Smith did not say anything, but walked out of the living-room and went to his study. Mrs. Smith was very angry with him, but did not say anything either. Then a minute later, he came back with a box full of Christmas cards. All of them had addresses and stamps on them.
‘These are from last year, ’he said. ’I forgot to post them.’
聖誕賀卡
離聖誕節只有兩個星期了，史密斯夫人非常的忙碌。她買了許多聖誕賀卡，用來寄給她和她丈夫的朋友們，她把卡片放在了起居室的桌子上。後來，她的丈夫下班回家了，她對他說，“這裡有一些給我們的朋友們準備的聖誕賀卡，一些郵票，一隻筆，和我們的地址簿。你能在我做晚飯的時候寫好這些賀卡嗎？”
史密斯先生什麼也沒有說，就走出了起居室，鑽進了自己的書房。史密斯夫人非常生氣，但也沒有多說什麼。過了一會兒，史密斯先生拿著一個盒子回來了，盒子裡全是聖誕賀卡。所有的賀卡上都寫好了地址，並且貼上了郵票。
“這些是去年的卡片，”史密斯先生說。“我忘了寄出去了。”
