题目内容
Yesterday evening, when I went to town with my mother, we met a strange old man. It was raining hard and we had no umbrella (伞). We were trying to get into a taxi when he came up to us. He was carrying a nice umbrella and he said that he would give it to us for only a pound. He had forgotten his wallet, he said, and needed taxi-fare(出租汽车费) to go back home. My mother didn't believe what he had said at first, and asked him a lot of questions. But she finally believed the man and gave him the pound. She was happy to have a good umbrella for so little. But the old man didn't get into a taxi. We walked after him and found he went into a pub(小酒店) and bought himself a glass of whiskey(威士忌) with the pound. After he drank it, he put on his hat and took up one of the many wet umbrellas there and went off with the new one. Soon after that, he sold it again.
