Jim was five years old. On his birthday he got a lot of birthday presents from his family,and one of them was a beautiful drum (鼓). It was from his grandpa. Jim liked his drum very much.He made a terrible noise with it, but his mother didn't mind. His father was working during the day, and Jim was in bed when he got home in the evening, so he didn't hear the noise. But one of the neighbors didn't like the noise, so one morning a few days later, she took a sharp knife and went to Jim's house while he was hitting his drum. She said, "Jimmy, do you know there's something nice inside your drum? Here's a knife. Open the drum and see what it is." |
