Lesson 49

Never Talk to Strangers

Something strange happened to me yesterday. On my way to school, I met a stranger. He stopped me and said, “You are Betty, aren't you？” “No,” I replied. He asked,

“You know me, don't you？” “I don't,” I answered. Then he said, “You owe me $100, don't you？” I ran away. At that moment, I remembered my mother's words： “Never talk to strangers.”

千万别跟陌生人说话

昨天有一件怪事发生在我身上。我在上学途中遇见一位陌生人。他将我拦住说：“你是贝蒂，对不对？”我回答说：“不是。”他又问：“你认识我，对不对？”我回答说：“我不认识。”然后他又说：“你欠我美金一佰元，对不对？”我跑掉了。就在那个时候，我想起母亲对我说过的话：“千万别跟陌生人说话。”
