坐错车了
On the wrong train
星期六早上,安娜很早就起床了。她是外国学生,在中国学习汉语已经一年了。今天,她要坐火车去天河,看一个好朋友。
车站里人非常多。安娜看了看时间,快要八点了,她跑过去,上了火车。火车开了,她坐下来,吃了一个面包。吃完面包,她觉得有点儿累,就睡了。
过了很长时间,火车到了一个车站,很多人都下车了。安娜想:“到了吧?”她也拿着包下了车。但是这个车站很小,外面没有高楼,就有几家小店和一条小路。安娜问旁边的一位奶奶:“请问,这儿是天河吗?”奶奶笑了:“这儿是安平。天河还远着呢,你坐错车了!”
安娜拿出手机,想告诉朋友。但是手机没电了,怎么也打不开。她的钱都在手机里,没有手机,她不能买票,也不能买东西吃。安娜一个人站在车站门口,不知道去哪儿。这时候,她看见路那边有一家小饭馆,门口站着一个女孩儿,正看着她。
