One day, the phone rang, and a little boy answered.

    “ May I speak to your parents? ”

    “ They're busy. ”

    “ Oh. Is anybody else there? ”

    “ The police. ”

    “ Can I speak to them? ”

    “ They're busy. ”

    “ Oh. Is anybody else there? ”

    “ The firemen. ”

    “ Can I speak to them? ”

    “ They're busy. ”

    “ So let me get this straight -- your parents, the police, and the firemen are there, but they're all busy? What are they doing? ”

    “ Looking for me. ”

       电话铃响了，小男孩接了电话。

    “请你父母听电话好吗？”

    “他们很忙。”

    “噢，那家里还有其他人吗？”

    “还有警察。”

    “我可以和他们说话吗？”

    “他们很忙。”
    “那还有其他人吗？”

    “还有消防员。”
    “我可以和他们说话吗？”

    “他们也很忙。”

    “请直接告诉我——你的父母、警察和消防员都在你家，但他们都很忙，他们到底在干什么？”

    “在找我。”
