HSK 3Chapter 2 of 4320 characters
送外卖的人
The delivery man
星期二早上,雨小了一点儿。林小雨八点就到了,把伞放回了门口左边。王师傅笑着说:“这么早就还回来了?”
中午,林小雨下楼拿外卖。外面的雨又大了。送外卖的是一个年轻人,从头到脚都是水。“对不起,晚了十分钟。”他着急地说,“我的雨衣坏了,下午还要跑二十多个地方。”
林小雨想了想,拿起门口那把伞,给了他。“这把伞你先用吧。用完了,放回这里就行。”年轻人很奇怪:“这是你的伞吗?”“不是。”林小雨笑了,“是大家的。”
下午六点,林小雨下楼的时候,门口左边什么也没有。她有点儿担心:那个年轻人会不会不还了?她对王师傅说:“都是我不好,我不应该把伞给一个不认识的人。”王师傅听了,笑了:“别担心。这把伞,在这儿已经两年了。”“两年?”
“其实,也不总是这一把。”王师傅说,“每次伞不见了,第二天早上,这里就会有一把新的。一样的红伞,一样的大熊猫。”“是谁放的?”王师傅想了想:“我也不知道。每次我来的时候,伞已经在那儿了。”
