Marty is five years old, and he is the baby of the family.
His brother Ralph likes playing basketball. "Can I play, too?" asks Marty.
"No, Marty. The basket is too high for you, and the ball is too big for your baby hands," says Ralph.
"I'm not a baby," Marty says. "I'm 115 cm!"
Then Marty sees his sister Cindy tidying her bike. She will go to the bookstore.
"Can I ride to the store, too?" asks Marty.
"No, the store is too far. And your baby bike is too slow."
"I'm not a baby," Marty says. "I'm nearly(将近) six."
"Six?" says Cindy. "You just had your fifth birthday last Friday!"
Marty starts to cry. "Why do you cry, dear?" asks Marty's mother.
"I'm too young to do anything. I don't want to be the last child."
His mother pats(轻拍) her belly(肚子) and says. "Here is our last child. She is your sister. And that is to say, you' ll be a big brother."
"But,I'm too small to be a bigbrother,I'm just a baby!" Marty says.
