WHY do you sit there on the floor so quiet and silent, tell me, mother dear?

The rain is coming in through the open window, making you all wet, and you don't mind it.

I saw the postman bringing letters in his bag for almost everybody in the town.

只有爸爸的信，他留起來給他自己看。我確信這個郵差是個壞人。

但是不要因此不樂呀，親愛的媽媽。
To-morrow is market day in the next village. You ask your maid to buy some pens and papers.

But I shall rule my paper carefully, and write all the letters beautifully big.

When I finish my writing, do you think I shall be so foolish as father and drop it into the horridpostman's bag?
當我寫好了時，你以為我也像爸爸那樣傻，把它投入可怕的郵差的袋中么？
