Where's the Bread I Asked For? | 我让你拿的面包呢

点击查看中英对照

Sam was near the end of his long life. His children stood by the bed, waiting to hear his last words.

Finally, he said, "My children, your mother and I have been married for more than 50 years, and she is a wonderful cook. Even now, I can smell bread baking. Sarah, be a dear and go get me a piece."

A few minutes later, Sarah returned to the room. "Sarah," her father asked, "where's the bread I asked you to get?"

"Mama says you can't have any," Sarah replied. "It's for the funeral tomorrow."
