I had no classes this afternoon.My friends all went to the Summer Palace, but I didn’t join them.
After lunch, Aunt Huang came in and she looked worried.“My parents are coming,”she said,“and I have to go to the market.But my baby is asleep.I can’t leave her by herself.”
Mum and Dad were not at home.So I said, “Don’t worry.I can look after her.”
“Thank you, Xiao Feng”, she said, Then she left.
The baby was about ten months old.At first she was asleep.Half an hour later, she woke up and began to cry.“Don’t cry”, I said, I talked to her.But she looked at me and cried harder and harder.I turned on the radio.She stopped crying and listened to the music.After a while she started to cry again.I turned off the radio and said,“Listen to me.”I started to sing.The baby watched and listened, and she didn’t cry any more.Then I made faces and jumped like a monkey.The baby laughed and laughed happily.
