每日晨读《切蛋糕》

Dick is seven years old, and his sister Mary is five. Today their mother takes them to their grandma’s house and then she goes out.

The children play for an hour, and then at four thirty their grandma takes Dick into the kitchen. 

孩子们玩了一个小时。四点半的时候，奶奶把迪克带进厨房。

She gives him a nice cake and a knife and says, “Like a gentleman, give the bigger piece to the other.”

Dick thinks about this for a moment. He says to Mary, “You cut this cake, Mary.”

迪克想了一会儿。他对玛丽说：“玛丽，你来切蛋糕。”
