All Except the Music | 除了音乐

点击查看中英对照

A keen young teacher wanted to introduce her class to classical music, so she arranged an outing to an afternoon concert. To make the occasion more memorable, she treated everyone to lemonade, cake, chocolates, and ice cream.

As the group was boarding their coach to return, she asked little Sally, "Have you enjoyed yourself today?"

"Oh, yes, miss!" said Sally. "It was lovely. All except the music, that is."
