Mother, I do want to leave off my lessons now.

I have been at my book all the morning.

You say it is only twelve o'clock.

Suppose it isn't very late; can't you ever think

it is afternoon when it is only twelve o'clock?

I can easily imagine now that the sun has reached

the edge of that rice-field, and the old fish-woman is

gathering herbs for her supper by the side of the pond.

I can just shut my eyes and think

that the shadows are growing darker

under the Madar tree, and the water

in the pond looks shiny black.

If twelve o'clock can come in the night,

Why can't the night come when it is twelve o'clock?

近五月份了 氣溫一直徘徊四十度 F (  五度C上下 ) 

A ：妳知道嗎，我冬天生日的？

S ：是呀！我知道，還記得剛過去的冬天是你五歲的生日。

A ：對 … ，妳不覺得很冷嗎？

S ：嗯！

S ：所以？

A ：我想提早過生日－下個月好嗎?

( 五月? 夏天!  )
