56. Returning Library Books
還書
Meimei likes reading books. She often goes and borrows books from the school library. Though she likes reading, she doesn't take care of her books. She throws them everywhere on the table on the ground; even under her bed. Her roommates often remind her of this, but she turns a deaf ear to them.
梅梅喜歡讀書，她經常去校圖書館借書。盡管她喜歡讀書，但是她并不愛護書。她把書仍得到處都是，桌子上、地上,甚至床底下。同屋同學提醒她多次，她卻置之不理
Not until yesterday did her bad habit bring her great trouble. It was the deadline for two books. She looked everywhere but failed to find them. When her roommates came back and learned that, they began to help her look for the books in the room.
直到昨天她的壞習慣終于給她惹了大麻煩。有兩本書昨天到期，可是她哪兒都找不到。同屋同學回來后，也幫助她一起找。
Twenty minutes passed without any result. Meimei cried helplessly. It was 4:30 and Meimei had to go to the library, for it closes at 5. As soon as she told the story to the librarian and asked for an extra day with tears, the librarian looked at her with surprise and said, "What a careless girl! You returned them, yesterday! Don't you remember?"
20分鐘過去了仍無結果。梅梅無助地哭著。已經是下午4點半了，梅梅必須去圖書館，因為圖書館5點關門。當她含著眼淚向圖書館員說明情況，并請求寬限一天時，圖書館員驚訝地看著她說：“真是個粗心的姑娘，書已經還了，就是昨天！記得嗎？”
