What nice stories, mother, you can tell us! Why can't father write like that, I wonder?	妈妈，你给我们讲的故事，真是好听呀！我很奇怪，爸爸为什么不能写那样的书呢？
Did he never hear from his own mother stories of giants and fairies and princesses?	难道他从来没有从他自己的妈妈那里听见过巨人和神仙和公主的故事么？

When my father wastes such heaps of paper, mother, you don't seem to mind at all.	当我爸爸耗费了那末一大堆纸时，妈妈，你似乎全不在乎。

What do you think of father's spoiling sheets and sheets of paper with black marks all over on both sides?	你对于爸爸拿黑点子涂满了纸的两面，污损了许多许多张纸，你心里以为怎样呢？
