It was raining when Tom was on his way home. He opened his umbrella and walked faster. Suddenly he saw an old woman staggering forward with a stick in her hand. She hadn't got an umbrella with her and was wet all over. Tom went up to her and tried to share his umbrella with her. But the old woman was tall and he was too short to hold it high enough. Then he saw the old woman's stick and a good idea came to him. He tried hard to tie the stick to the handle of the umbrella. Then the umbrella was long enough for both of them. The old woman thanked him again and again. Then they went on walking home.

　　當湯姆在回家的路上時突然下起了雨。他打開傘走得更快。突然，他看見一個老奶奶蹣跚著拄著拐杖。她沒有傘，全身都濕透了。湯姆試圖和她共用一把傘。但老奶奶個子高高的，他太矮了不能把傘舉得足夠高的。然后他看到了老奶奶的拐杖，于是有了主意。他努力把拐杖粘在傘柄上。然后傘就足夠高來遮擋他們。老奶奶一再向他表示感謝。然后他們繼續走回家。
