　　A Brown Coat棕色外套

　　Mr Smith has a nice, brown coat. He loves it a lot. But his wife doesn’t like it because it’s old. She often says, 「Give it to poor man.」 But Mr Smith says, 「No, I like this coat.」史密斯先生有一件漂亮的棕色外套，他非常喜歡它。但是他的妻子不喜歡，因為它是舊的。她經常說，「把它送給窮人吧。」但是史密斯先生說：「不，我喜歡這件衣服。」

　　But one day, a cigarette falls on it and makes a hole in it. So Mrs Smith says, 「Please don’t wear it again.」 Mr Smith takes it to a tailor’s shop and says to the tailor, 「Please make another coat like this one.」 The tailor does what he is told him and makes a new coat. Then the tailor makes a hole in it again with his cigarette in the same place. 但是一天，一隻香菸把這件衣服燒了一個洞。於是史密斯太太說：「請不要再穿它了。」史密斯先生把它拿到了一個裁縫店對裁縫說：「請給我做一件與這件一模一樣的外套。」裁縫按照他說的做了一件新外套。然後裁縫又用香菸在同一個地方燒了一個洞。
