Passage 5-3

She had left the black umbrella above her seat in the compartment（车厢）. But when she got back, it had gone! When she had left the compartment, there had been no other passengers in it. But now there were three.

Sally began to cry when she saw the umbrella was no longer there. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what was wrong. She told them that the black umbrella she had bought for her mother was gone and that she had to get out at the next station After the three other passengers heard it, they asked about her mother’s address so that they could send the umbrella to her if someone had taken it by mistake and brought it back after Sally got out of the train.

The next week, Sally heard from her mother. It said,“Thank you very m uch for your lovely presents, but why did you send me three similar black umbrellas?”

她把黑伞放在车厢座位的上面。但是当她回来时，伞不见了。当她离开车厢时，里面没有别的乘客。但现在有三位了。

当她看到雨伞不再在那里，萨莉哭了起来。其他的乘客都为她感到难过，问她怎么啦。她告诉他们自己为妈妈买的伞不见了，而且下一站她就得下车了。其他的三位乘客听到后，都询问她母亲的地址，以便有人知道拿错了伞再拿回来时，他们可以把伞寄给她母亲。

在接下来的一周，萨莉收到她母亲的来信，上面写道，“非常感谢你送我的漂亮礼物，但你为什么寄给我三把相似的黑伞呢？”
