Tom was three years old.He liked to watch TV with his parents after supper, but his parents never let him stay long.Mother would say, “It’s eight o’clock now.It’s time for you to go to bed, Tom.”
“But why don’t you go to bed, too?” Tom always asked.
“We are adults(大人),”mother would say, “And adults go to bed late.”
One evening Tom asked his mother for an apple.
“But it’s too late,” his mother didn’t want to give him anything to eat at bedtime.“The apples are already asleep.”
“But not all of them, Mom.” Tom said, “The baby apples are perhaps asleep, but their parents are surely awake.”

Thank you very much for your letter.I am glad that you enjoyed your holiday with me.We enjoyed having you and your sister here.We hope that you will both be able to come again next year.A week is not really long enough,is it? If your school has a five weeks'holiday next year,perhaps(也许) you'll be able to stay with us for two or three weeks.
We have been back to school for three weeks now.It feels like three months!I expect(期望) that you are both working very hard now since(因为) you are in Grade One.I shall have to work hard next year when I am in Grade one.Tom and Ann won't be in Grade One until 2005.
They went for a picnic yesterday but I didn't go with them because I cut my foot and I couldn't walk very well.They went to an island and enjoyed themselves there.Do you still remember the island?That's where all of us spent the last day of our holiday.
Tom,Ann and I send our best wishes to Betty and you.We hope to see you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Michael
