Jessica 在袋鼠國

John 的學校會叫高年級的孩子來,一對一讀書給低年級的小朋友,稱為Book Buddies.去年John的Book Buddy 叫Brett,正好在大女兒Esther的班上.

有段時間John 會把 B 講成 D ,有天Esther 聽到 Brett 很傷心的對朋友說: My Book Buddy doesn't like me. When I said "Bye" to him, he said "Die".

John讀書的時間正好是電腦課之後,John 往往熱衷於玩電腦,老師說讀書時間到了,他還不肯下來.坐在電腦前大哭,老師沒辦法,只好隨他去.
Brett 的朋友問他:Do you want to trade Book Buddies? (要不要跟我換Book Buddy?)
Brett 想了想: It's OK. because I get to play with the comupter sometimes.(不要好了,因為有時候我還可以玩玩電腦.)
