It was
a beautiful spring morning. There were no clouds in the sky, and the sun is warm
but not hot. Mr. Black saw an old man at the bus stop with a big, strong, black
umbrella in his hand.
Mr. Black said to him, "Do you think we are
going to have rain today?"
"No," said the old man, "I don't think so."
"Then are you carrying the umbrella because the sun is too hot?"
"No,
the sun is not very hot in spring." Mr. Black looked at the big umbrella again,
and then the man said "I am an old man, and my legs are not very strong. I
must have a walking-stick(拐杖). But people will say,
'Look! That man is so old!' I don't like that, so I carry an umbrella every day."
