任务型阅读阅读下面短文,并回答问题Peter, a 5-year-old boy, showed such great interest in seashells that he would rush to pick them up with his 3-year-old sister, Shirley. They screamed out their joy as Peter collected his treasure into his pockets. For Peter, sea shells lay shining on the peaceful beach, waiting for him, just like stars twinkling (闪烁) in the sky. As waves touched them, they seemed to be flowers blooming (绽放) in gentle wind.One day, Peter was wandering through a market with Shirley with some shells in his pocket. Suddenly Peter found his younger sister was lagging (落后) behind. He stopped and looked back, finding Shirley standing in front of a toy shop and staring at something with great interest. The boy went back to her and asked, "What do you want?" Shirley pointed at the doll, wearing a smile on her innocent face. Peter held his younger sister's tiny hand, walking into the shop. He tiptoed (踮起脚尖) to reach for the doll, and like fulfilling an elder brother's duty, gave the precious doll to Shirley. Holding tightly the doll, the sister was very happy.The shopkeeper was watching everything and enjoyed seeing the mature (成熟的) behavior of the boy. Now the boy came to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, "How much does this doll cost, Sir?" The shopkeeper was a cool man, who had suffered from something in his life. So he asked the boy with love, "Well, what can you pay?" Peter reached into his clothes for money that was intended for these two little kids' breakfast. Having counted the money, Peter put it with care on the counter, asking again, "Sir, is it enough for my little sister's doll?" The amusing scene just in front of the shopkeeper eventually brought a smile to his face. Shaking his head slightly, he replied, "My boy, I am afraid it seems not to be enough."
