　　上周,布莱克夫人去了一趟伦敦.她不太熟悉伦敦,结果她迷路了.突然她在一个公共汽车站附近看见一位男子.她急忙向这位男子走去,说道：“劳驾您一下!请您告诉我去医院的路,好吗?”这位男子笑了.他听不懂英语.他来自德国.但是他将手伸进了自己的衣袋里,从里面掏出了一本英语词典.他查找到了一些单词.然后他一字一句地说：“我很抱歉我听不懂你说的话.”

　　迪克年龄七岁,他的妹妹凯瑟琳五岁.一天,妈妈把他们带到姨妈家去玩,自己就到大城市去买些新的衣服.

　　孩子们玩了个把小时,在四点半的时候,姨妈领着迪克走进了厨房.她交给迪克一块精美的蛋糕和一把刀子,并对他说：“喏,迪克,给你刀子,把这块蛋糕一切为二,给你妹妹一块.不过,你得记住要做得像一个绅士那样.”

　　迪克问：“像一个绅士?绅士怎样做呢?”

　　他姨妈马上回答说：“绅士总是把大的一块让给别人的.”

　　迪克说了一声“噢”.他对此想了一会,然后,他把蛋糕拿给妹妹,并对她说：“凯瑟琳,你来把这块蛋糕一切为二吧
