Mrs Peters had two children. Sammy was seven years old, and his sister Annie was four. Sammy went to school, but Annie did not. When Sammy was at home, he often played with Annie while their mother was cooking or washing or cleaning, and he was usually very nice to his small sister, and Mrs Peters was free to do her work quietly.
彼得斯夫人有两个孩子。萨米七岁了，他的妹妹安妮四岁。萨米上学了，但是安妮没有。萨米在家时，他们的妈妈做饭或洗衣服，或者打扫卫生的时候，他经常跟安妮玩，他通常对待他的小妹妹非常好，这样彼得斯夫人就可以有空静静地干活了。
One Saturday morning, the two children were playing in the garden while their mother was cooking the lunch. They were quite happy until Annie suddenly began to cry and ran into the kitchen to her mother.
