[00:00.760]--- lesson 141 Sally's first train ride
[00:08.280]--- Listen to the tape then answer this question.
[00:13.640]--- Why was the mother embarrassed?
[00:18.520]Last week, my four-year-old daughter, Sally, was invited to a children's party.
[00:26.680]I decided to take her by train.
[00:30.160]Sally was very excited because she had never travelled on a train before.
[00:36.400]She sat near the window and asked questions about everything she saw.
[00:43.320]Suddenly, a middle-age lady got on the train and sat opposite Sally.
[00:50.120]'Hello, little girl,' she said.
[00:53.800]Sally did not answer, but looked at her curiously.
[00:58.680]The lady was dressed in a blue coat and a large, funny hat.
[01:05.280]After the train had left the station, the lady opened her handbag and took out her power compact.
[01:13.680]She then began to make up her face.
[01:17.320]'Why are you doing that?' Sally asked.^“
[01:22.880]'To make myself beautiful,' the lady answered.^“
[01:28.720]She put away her compact and smiled kindly.
[01:33.720]'But you are still ugly,' Sally said.^“
[01:38.120]Sally was amused, but I was very embarrassed!
