A.

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 sisster, and Mrs Peters was free to do her work quietly.

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.

Mrs Petes stopped cooking and said, "Why are you crying, Annie?"

"Sammy's broken my toy horse", Annie answered, crying more loudly.

"How did he break it?" her mother asked.

Annie stopped crying, but did not answer for a few seconds. Then she said, "I hit him o­n the head with it".

"Anh Sammy làm gẫy con bọ ngựa đồ chơi của con". Annie trả lời rồi khóc to hơn.
