Last Saturday, Linda finished her homework, and she wanted to do
something for fun. She thought watching TV, reading books and playing computer
games were boring. And she wanted to do something different. So when she saw the
lawnmower(割草机), she decided to mow the lawn.
"Mom," she said, "I think I can mow the lawn."
Her mother said, ""Oh no, you can't. You're too young to
mow the lawn."
"I'm fourteen years old and I know how to do it, "Linda
said. "It can also help my dad a lot, and he doesn't have to worry about
it over the weekend."
Her mother thought for a minute and then said OK. Linda wore gloves(手套) and made sure the lawnmower worked well. She started the
lawnmower. She knew how to use the lawnmower by watching her dad. Her mother
watched her through the kitchen window(窗户). Linda
really knew how to mow the lawn. When she finished, she was quite happy. But
she felt so hot. Her mother brought her some ice tea and said, "You did a
great job. Your dad will be happy about it."
Her neighbors knew Linda could mow the lawn. So they asked Linda to
help them on Sundays. And Linda got some money from them. She was really happy
because she could do something to help others.
