Mrs. Smith is a smart housewife. One day she is listening to music. Her son Tom says，"Mom，I'm going to have a picnic tomorrow. Please buy some snacks for me to take."
So Mrs. Smith goes shopping with a big plastic bag.
In the department store, she sees a new kind of stove. It uses only half of the coal when it is burning. She is very excited, and thinks to herself,"That will be terrific. Since one stove can save half of the coal, if I buy two, no coal will be needed."So she spends all her money on two stoves and doesn't buy anything for her son.
When she comes back home, Tom is unhappy and says，"Why did you buy two stoves? "
"These are magic stoves. They will save us a lot of money."

譯文:

神奇的爐灶

史密斯太太是個(gè)精明的家庭主婦。一天，她正在聽音樂，她的兒子湯姆說：“媽媽，明天我們要去野坎，請(qǐng)你給我買些零食帶去。”
于是，史密斯太太拿上一個(gè)大塑料袋去買東西了。在百貨商場，她看見一種新型的爐灶，燒火時(shí)，只用一半的煤。她很激動(dòng)，心想： “真是太棒了。既然一個(gè)爐灶可以節(jié)約一半的煤，如果我買兩個(gè)的話，就不需要煤了。”于是，她花了所有的錢，買了兩個(gè)爐灶，沒有給她兒子買東西。
當(dāng)她回到家時(shí)，湯姆不髙興地說：“為什么買兩個(gè)爐灶啊？” “這爐灶可神奇了，他們會(huì)為我們節(jié)約很多錢的。”
