    Jane works as a secretary (秘书) in a small office. Her boss, although kind, is sometimes a bit foolish. He likes to keep lots of plants in front of their office to attract (吸引) customers.

    It seems to work, since Jane is often busy greeting new customers. Nearly every customer likes to take a look at the colorful plants.

    One of Jane's other responsibilities (职责) is to water the plants. This is one of her favorite jobs to do around the office, as it allows her to spend some time outside away from her desk. She does it every morning before staring the rest of her work day.

    One afternoon, her boss came over to her desk and kindly asked her to water the plants, as she hadn't done it yet that day.

    "But sir, it's been raining outside all morning …" she said.

    "Oh! I see, that explains it. Well here then, you can take my umbrella while you water them," the boss replied.
