HSK 3Chapter 3 of 4314 characters
九层的马丽
Ma Li from the ninth floor
星期三早上,红伞回来了。伞旁边还放着奶茶。王师傅说:“送外卖的年轻人给你的。”奶茶上有一张小纸,写着:“谢谢你!昨天下午,我一次也没有迟到。”奶茶很甜,林小雨开心了一上午。
中午吃饭的时候,她把伞的故事讲给同事们听。大家都觉得很有意思,只有周文还是戴着耳机,一个人坐在一边吃饭。林小雨想:这个人,好像对什么都不感兴趣。
星期四下午,雨越下越大。林小雨在电梯里遇到了九层的同事马丽。马丽好像刚哭过。“怎么了?”林小雨问。“学校刚才打电话来,说我儿子发烧了。”马丽很着急,“我得马上去,可是我没带伞。”
电梯一到一楼,林小雨就跑到门口,拿起那把伞,放在马丽手里。“快去吧!”马丽拿着伞跑进了雨里,很快就不见了。
那天晚上,伞没有回来。林小雨想起王师傅说过:伞不见了,第二天早上,就会有一把新的。那么,明天早上,一定会有人来放伞。林小雨决定,明天她要来得比谁都早。
