It was Sunday yesterday. Peter went to play football with his friends. Soon he felt hot and took off
his coat. On his way home , he forgot to put it on again. This morning he fell ill and couldn't go to school.
His mother told him to stay in bed and then went to buy some medicine for him. An hour later he wouldn't
lie there, so he stood by the window. The sun was shining and the birds were singing in the trees. Soon his mother came back and said,"It's warmer outside. Go to sun yourself after you take the medicine. "
Peter went out and sat on a step and played alone. Just then a salesman(推销员)came up to him and asked,"Is your mother at home,my little friend?"
"Yes,sir." answered the boy. The man began to ring the doorbell , but nobody answered. He rang it
for a long time andbecame angry. "I don't think you are an honest boy. "said the salesman. "There's no one in the house. You've played a joke on(捉弄)me!" "I don't think so,sir,"said Peter. "This house isn't ours. ".
