One day, when I was six years old, my aunt cane to see us form Shanghai. My parents and brother happened to be out then.
IT was late in the afternoon. The room was a lITtle dark. My aunt felt tired. I asked her to sIT down and have a rest. "When are your daddy and mummy, my dear?" asked Aunt. " They have gone shopping and will be back in an hour. I‘ll fetch a cup of tea for you, aunty." When I went into the kITchen, a good idea came into my mind: After a ling journey my aunt must be very hungry. I‘ll give her a cup of milk instead of a cup of tea. When I opened the cupboard. I saw a bottle of ‘milk‘ powder in IT. I poured a cup of the ‘milk‘ and gave IT to my aunt. " Thank you very much. IT‘s verykind of you," she said. " Please taste the milk. Has IT enough sugar?" My aunt took a sip of the ‘milk‘ and spilt IT out at once. " What is IT, Ranran?" she asked in surprise. " IT‘s milk," I said loudly and proudly. " But IT doesn‘t taste like milk. Where did you get IT?" I took Aunt into the kITchen and showed the bottle to her. Oh, IT turned out to be a bottle of washing powder!
In the evening my parents came back. When they heard what I did, my mother said to me wITh a smile, " You are great. You have learned to entertain guests wIThout us."
Several years have passed. NNow I am a middle school student. Every time my parents repeat the story, we have a good laugh over IT.
