A Christmas tree
Searching through row upon row of Christmas trees, my husband Norm and I picked one we liked. Then I noticed the one being held by a woman nearby-the perfect tree. I watched as she carried it around the lot and couldn’t believe my eyes when she set it aside.
I ditched ours and ran over to grab the coveted tree. “Aren’t we luckly?” I said to Norm.” I do feel a little guilty, however, for taking it before she could change her mind,.”
圣誕樹
我和丈夫諾姆挑選圣誕樹，挑了一排又一排，終于選到了一棵中間的。這時我注意到旁邊一位婦女拿的一棵——那是一棵絕好的圣誕樹。她拿著那棵樹在那個地方走來走去，我就一直看著。當她將樹放到一邊時，我簡直都不敢相信我自己的眼睛了。
我丟開我們選的那棵，跑過去一把抓住那棵我垂涎已久的圣誕樹。“我們真走運！”我對諾姆說：“不過，我確實覺得有點愧疚，在她還來得及改變主意之前就把它拿過來。”
“我一點都不擔心，”他回答說，“她剛剛跑過來把我們那棵搶走了。
