The Witch(巫婆)

　　 “We should do something nice for the old people of our town,”the teacher said to her class one day. “What could we do?”

　　“Can we give them a picnic?”one of the children asked. “We can send out invitations(邀請(qǐng))and bring cakes and sausages(香腸)and all kinds of good things to eat.”

　　“That's very good idea,”the teacher said. “We'll ask all the old people to a picnic by the river.”

　　The children worked hard getting ready for the picnic. Their parents made cakes and pies(餡餅)or gave money, and the children wrote invitation cards to the old people. Then they took the cards to the old people's homes.

　　On the morning of the picnic the sky was blue and the sun was shining. The children were all looking forward to giving the old people a happy day.

　　Then one of the children said. “Oh! We forgot to invite Mrs. Waller.”

　　They did not like Mrs. Waller. She looked like a witch.

　　 “We must invite her how then,” the teacher said. “She will be hurt and angry if we don't ask her.”

　　She looked around the class and then pointed at one of the boys. “Tom, take an invitation card to her house. Apologize(道歉)for being late. Don't tell her we forgot her.”

　　Tom did not want to go to Mrs. Waller's house, but he was a brave(勇敢的)boy, and said, “All right, Miss Lee.”

　　He went to the old woman's house and knocked on the door. Mrs. Waller opened it. She looked very angry.

　　 “Well,” she said, “what is it? What do you want?”

　　Tom gave her the invitation card and said, “I'm sorry we did not ask you before, but please come to our picnic. It's a beautiful day.”

　　Mrs. Waller knew that the children thought she was a witch. She guessed that they had forgotten her.

　　 “You're too late,” the woman said. “It's a beautiful day now, but I've already arranged for rain this afternoon.”
