I am going to tell you about a funny thing that happened to my mother and me yesterday
evening. ?
Yesterday afternoon, my mother took me up to London to see the dentist. After that,
we went to a café. I had a banana split and my mother had a cup of coffee.
When we came out of the café it had started to rain. ?We must get a taxi,? my mother said.
It was raining quite hard.
?Why don?t we go back into the café and wait for it to stop?? I said. I wanted another
of those banana splits. They were very tasty.
?It isn?t going to stop,? my mother said. ?We must get home.?
We stood on the pavement in the rain, looking for a taxi.
Just then a man came up to us. He was a small man and he was pretty old. He raised his
hat politely and said to my mother, ?Excuse me, I do hope you will excuse me ??
?Yes?? my mother said, very cool it before,? he said.
?You?ve never forgotten what?? my mother asked.
?My wallet,? he said. ?I must have left it in my other jacket.?
?Are you asking me to give you money?? my mother said.
?Oh, no!? he cried.
?Then what are you asking?? my mother said. ?Do hurry up. We?re getting very wet here.?
?I know you are,? he said. 'And that is why I?m offering you this umbrella of mine
to protect you, and to keep forever, if ? if only ??
?If only what?? my mother said.
?If only you would give me in return a pound for my taxi-fare just to get me home,?
the little man said, ?It?s a lovely umbrella.?
?So I?ve noticed,? my mother said.
?It?s silk,? he said.
'I can see that.?
?Then why don?t you take it, madam,? he said. ?It cost me over twenty pounds, I promise
you. But that?s of no importance so long as I can get home and rest these old legs of mine.?
Then my mother said to the little man, ?I don?t think it?s quite right that I should take
an umbrella from you worth twent y pounds. I think I?d better just give you the taxi-fare.?
?No, no no!? he cried. 'It?s out of the question!?
My mother took out a pound note. She held it out to the little man He took it and handed
her the umbrella. ?Thank you, madam, thank you.? Then he was gone.
'Aren?t we lucky,. my mother said. I`ve never had a silk umbrella before. I couldn?t
afford it.
5.1. The girl and her mother went to London to have a banana split in a café.
