“We have no classes today,”answers the girl.“We’re having a school sports meeting today.”
“That’s great!”says her mother.“Take your brother to your school.Tell your teachers I have a lot of things to do.I’m sure they can let you look after him today.”
Sally does what her mother says.The little boy comes to school for the first time and thinks everything is interesting.He sees some children having a race and asks,“What are they running for,Sally?”
“The first boy can get a prize,”answers Sally.
“Now,I see.But why are the others running?”
What will the woman do this afternoon?
