30 Years Late
30年前
She found a book in her basement. It was an old book. She opened the book. It was a library book. It was an old library book. The library card was inside the front cover. The due date was on the library card. She looked at the due date. The due date was 30 years ago! Oh my goodness, she thought. I wonder how much money that is, she thought. I wonder how much money I owe. She didn’t know what to do. She thought about it. I can just throw the book out, she thought. No one will know. No one will know if I just throw the book out. She threw the book out. She threw the book into the trash can. She thought about it. She felt bad. I shouldn’t throw a book into the trash can, she thought. She took it out of the trash can.
她在地下室發現了一本書。這是一本舊書。她打開了這本書。這是一本圖書館的書。這是一本老舊的圖書館圖書。借閱卡放在了封皮里面。卡上寫著截止日期。她看了看截止日期。截止日期竟然是30年前!她想我的天啊。她想這本書應該值多少錢呢。我不知道我欠了多少錢。她不知道該怎么做。她想了想。我可以把它扔了。沒人會知道。沒人會知道我把書扔了。她把書扔了。書被扔進了垃圾箱。她想了想。她感覺不太好。我不應該把書仍垃圾箱。她又把書拿了回來。
