look, forget, help, tell, surprised, I, again, happy, when, if |
When I was waiting for a bus at a station, I saw a young man get into a telephone box near the station. After a short time, he came out and very sad (难过的). As he saw me, he came over.
"Good afternoon, sir," he said. " was Abraham Lincoln born, do you know?"
I felt a little at his words. "Something may be wrong (有毛病的) with him," I thought. Then he asked and I could see that he was not joking (开玩笑). So I thought for a minute and him that Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809.
The young man thanked turned around and walked into the telephone box again. A few minutes later, he came out . He thanked me again and told me that he wanted to make a telephone call to his friend but he his telephone number.
"You me remember it," he said. "His telephone number is '180909', and you can remember it easily you know when the great man was born."
