Story 28 A Boy and a Monkey 故事二十八 男孩和猴子
Mike is a little boy. He is only five years old. He is too small to go to school. So he can not read and write.
迈克是一个小男孩，他只有5岁。他太小还没有上学，因此也不会读和写。
One day he stood at my desk with a pencil in his hand. There was a big piece of paper on the desk. He wanted to draw a picture of himself.
一天，他手里拿着一支铅笔站在我的桌子前。桌子上放着一张大纸，他要画自画像。
He drew lines and cleared them out, then drew more and cleared them out again. When I looked at the picture, he wasn’t happy.
他画了几笔就擦掉了，再画几笔，又擦掉了。当我看他的画时，他很不高兴。
“Well,” he said at last to me, “I’ll put a tail on it and make it a monkey.”
“好吧，”他最后和我说，“我就再加一条尾巴，把他画成一只猴子吧！”
He began to add the tail. I began to laugh.
他开始加上小尾巴，我大笑起来。
