　　Little Robert asked his mother for two cents. "What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?"

　　小罗伯特向妈妈要两分钱。 “昨天给你的钱干什么了?”

　　"I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered.

　　“我给了一个可怜的老太婆，”他回答说。

　　"You're a good boy," said the mother proudly. "Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?"

　　“你真是个好孩子，”妈妈骄傲地说。“再给你两分钱。可你为什么对那位老太太那么感兴趣呢?”

　　"She is the one who sells the candy."
