Mr Smith was old,so it was often difficult for him to remember things.However(可是),he still liked traveling very much,so he and his wife went to Spain(西班牙) every year.One summer when they were there,they went to visit their friends,the Turners.They had two young daughters.
One afternoon,Mr Smith was talking to one of the girls in the garden after lunch.“You and your sister were ill when my wife and I were here last year,weren't you?”he said to her.
“Yes,we were,”answered the girl.“We were very ill.”
The old man said nothing for a moment,because he was thinking.Then at last he said,“Oh,yes,I remember now!One of you died(死).Which one of you was it,you or your sister?”
