A Christmas tree
Searching through row upon row of Christmas trees, my husband Norm and I picked one we liked. Then I noticed the one being held by a woman nearby-the perfect tree. I watched as she carried it around the lot and couldn’t believe my eyes when she set it aside.
I ditched ours and ran over to grab the coveted tree. “Aren’t we luckly?” I said to Norm.” I do feel a little guilty, however, for taking it before she could change her mind,.”
圣诞树
我和丈夫诺姆挑选圣诞树，挑了一排又一排，终于选到了一棵中间的。这时我注意到旁边一位妇女拿的一棵——那是一棵绝好的圣诞树。她拿着那棵树在那个地方走来走去，我就一直看着。当她将树放到一边时，我简直都不敢相信我自己的眼睛了。
我丢开我们选的那棵，跑过去一把抓住那棵我垂涎已久的圣诞树。“我们真走运！”我对诺姆说：“不过，我确实觉得有点愧疚，在她还来得及改变主意之前就把它拿过来。”
“我一点都不担心，”他回答说，“她刚刚跑过来把我们那棵抢走了。
