The school picnic
day was on Sunday, and on Saturday morning
I decided to ask Mum some
questions. As soon as Mum took the last bite of her
toast, I decided I couldn't wait for
her any longer and asked," Mum, where is Italy?"
My mum pushed up her glasses and looked at me with her
head to one side. Then she said," Italy is an European country which is
very far away from here, my love. Why do you want to know that?"
I shrugged (耸肩),"
That's where Mike, the new boy in our
class is from."
She nodded and
invited me to go to fetch the geography book. The book was big and Mum always kept the very big books on the bottom shelf of our bookcase.
I watched as Mum
flipped to the index and then to a page near the middle." Here we go,"
she said, turning
the map around to show me. I let my finger meet hers where it said the
word "Italy" in capital letters.
According to the introduction to the country on the page,
Mum helped me know more about the country.
"You know, Mum,
Mike's parents are extremely busy working in the
downtown. He seldom eats regularly let alone (更不用说) have his native foods. I
really want him to be very happy for his first picnic with us…"
I paused and observed Mum, worried that Mum would think that it was silly and maybe a waste of money buying food only to give
it away. But she didn't. Instead, she said, "I think that's a brilliant idea! Go and get ready, and we'll head out on a big shopping."

答案: I got ready so quickly that morning that I thought I must have beaten a world record. In five minutes I had my trousers and T-shirt pulled on, and hurriedly emptied my piggy bank. With all the money I saved carefully put in my pocket, I rushed to meet my smiling Mum at the front gate. We went to stands of fresh fruits and vegetables, selecting some for making pizza. Proudly looking at the products, Mum and I drove back home in high spirits. I could picture the perfect pizza which my mother was expert in cooking and the new boy's amazed face. We gathered on the grass on Sunday morning and I saw the Italian boy immediately. I waved my hand to draw Mike's attention. He looked around and finally made sure that he was my target. Shy and quiet, he approached me with a light-hearted pace. I patted the place beside me, gestured him to sit down and unpacked his native food. He hesitated at first but later focused his eyes on my sincere face and gave me a broad smile. What a beautiful day it was! We enjoyed the delicious pizza together and came to understand each other by sharing different experiences. No one would resist the sincere kindness.
