HSK 3Chapter 1 of 4329 characters
星期一
Monday
星期一下午六点,外面下着大雨。林小雨站在公司楼下的门口,没有伞。早上出门的时候,天还是晴的。她看了看手机:雨要下到晚上十点。
门口左边放着一把红色的伞。伞已经很旧了,上面画着一只大熊猫。林小雨每天都从这里走过,好像见过它,可是一直没有注意过。
这时候,同事周文从电梯里出来了。他坐在林小雨旁边,已经半年了,可是两个人一共没聊过几次。他总是戴着耳机,好像不太喜欢跟别人说话。周文看了看她,什么也没说,就走了。
“王师傅,这是谁的伞?”林小雨问。王师傅在楼下工作了很多年,楼里的人他差不多都认识。可是这次,他也不知道:“早上就在这儿了,一直没人拿。”“我能借一下吗?明天早上就还回来。”“拿去吧,别感冒了。”
回到家,林小雨把伞打开,放在门口。她这才发现,伞里面写着一些字:“下雨了?拿去用吧。用完了,请还回来。”这么说,这把伞不是别人忘在那里的,是有人放在那里给大家用的。可是,是谁放的呢?
