Amos asked his mother whether they could have a video.
Im afraid we cant 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? gasped1 his mother.
Easy, Mum. replied Amos, I sold the television!
艾莫斯问母亲他们是不是能买一台录像机。
恐怕大家还买不起,母亲叹息着说。
可第二天当艾莫斯回来时,他摇摇晃晃地搬着一台全新的录像机。
你到底是什么地方来的钱买这东西?母亲大吃一惊,喘着气说。
母亲,这简单, 艾曼斯回答。我把电视机给卖了!
