(A)
Daniel Brown was just five years old when he climbed into the family car and
let it roll away down the road. He was only three when be flooded the kitchen.
His mother, Angela Brown, is in despair. She is very busy looking after her new
baby, a little gift called Laura, as well as Daniel. She told us, "Daniel
is so full of curiosity." At that moment, we hear a huge crash and then
silence. We go upstairs and find Daniel crawling out of a wardrobe(衣橱) he has pulled over onto the floor, with a
book in his hand. "It's for you, Mum," he says and looks up at his
mum and smiles. Seven-year-old Daniel has a lovely face. He has golden hair,
big brown eyes, and a friendly smile. I have to admit that Daniel doesn't look
like a naughty boy.
Angela told
me all about it. "Once I found him as he was about to put Jasper in the
washing machine." Jasper, she explained, is the Browns' dog. "When I
asked him why, he said that he thought Jasper was dirty! It's amazing how
one little boy can cause so much trouble. Another time he cut off all the hair
of the little girl next door. She was going to attend her sister's wedding and
the neighbours haven't spoken
to us
since."
Angela told me about Daniel's most expensive crime. "I was about to
do the washing up when the baby started crying. Daniel decided to help and
filled the kitchen sink with water. When I came in the water was already
flooding the kitchen and was about to flood the hall. The carpet was ruined and
had to be replaced. I hope things will get better as he gets older."
Amazingly, Daniel is quite well behaved in school. This may be because he is
rarely bored. Meanwhile he continues to be the naughtiest little boy in England.
Will his baby sister Laura grow up to be the naughtiest little girl?
