Question

Peter lived with his parents and his nanny (保姆) Laura in a beautiful house in front of the park.But he never went to the park.His parents were always working.He spent much time in his home studying while Laura did the housework.

Peter was very sad because most of the day he was alone with Laura.His parents were at work all day.Laura was always trying to ask him to go out and play with other kids, but he never went out.

One day, a ball, which a group of kids were playing happily with in the park, came through the window in Peter's study (书房)．The kids knocked on the door and Peter opened it with the ball in his hand.“Can we have our ball back, please？” asked one of the kids.Peter didn't even care about the broken window and gave them the ball back and smiled.He felt lonely when he saw them leave happily.

When his parents arrived home and saw him crying, they talked to him about his feelings and knew how sad he was because nobody played with him.And so they decided to solve the problem.
