Sally was a student. It was going to be her mother's birthday. She wanted to buy her a present that would
be nice and useful but not expensive.
She went shopping after a quick and simple lunch. After she looked for half an hour, she found a shop that
was selling cheap umbrellas, and she decided to take a black one.
She thought, "Mom can carry it when she is wearing clothes of any color." So she bought a lovely black
umbrella and took it to school with her until her class finished.
On her way home on the train she felt hungry because she had so little for lunch. So she went to the buffet
car (餐车). She left the umbrella on her seat. But when she got back, it had gone!
Sally began to cry. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the matter was. She told
them the black umbrella she bought for her mother had gone, and she had to get off at the next station. After
the three passengers heard this, they asked her for her mother's address so that they could send the umbrella
to her if someone took it by mistake and brought it back.
And now a week passed. Sally got a letter from her mother. It said "Thank you very much for your lovely
gifts, but why do you send me three black umbrellas?"
