　　It was a Sunday morning. Peter, a seven-year-old boy, watched in the room while his brother Bill did his homework. Their father watered the flowers in the garden and their mother went out to do some shopping. At ten the woman came back with a heavy basket. Peter ran up to her. He wanted to know what his mother bought. He found a bag of oranges in it. He liked them very much and wanted to eat. His mother stopped him. She gave five to each son and went to the kitchen(厨房). Peter ate his oranges soon but his brother was busy finishing his homework and didn't touch his. Suddenly(突然) the telephone rang and Bill ran to answer it. Bill's friend asked him to play football with them. And when Bill talked with his friend, Peter took two of his oranges away and ate them. Bill found it and called him art and beat(打) him behind the house. He didn't tell his parents about it.

　　The next morning Miss Ball taught her class subtraction(减法). Peter didn't hear what she said and couldn't understand it. So he couldn't answer her questions. She began to give him an example, “If your brother has five nuts and you take two from him, what will the result(结果) be?”

　　“He'll beat me, madam,” answered the boy.

　　All his classmates began to laugh.
