29 Ours is not an ordinary baby
29 我們的孩子不一般
Bob's wife was very ill and at last she died on the trolley before a lung operation. After a few months, Bob married again. His new wife was a widow.
鮑勃的妻子得了重病，在做肺部手術前死在了手術車上。幾個月后，鮑勃再婚，他的新妻子是個寡婦。
Exactly seven days after he married her, she had a boy.
結婚正好七天的時候，他的妻子生了個小孩。
Bob at once hurried away to the bookshop and bought some pencils, some children's textbooks, a rubber and a sharpener. Then he hurried back home again with these things and put them beside the baby.
鮑勃立即趕到書店買了很多鉛筆、兒童書籍、橡皮和一個鉛筆刀，然后他帶著這些東西匆忙趕回家放在孩子身邊。
His new wife was very surprised. “What are you doing?” she asked. “The baby won't be able to use those things for a long time. Why are you in such a hurry?”
他的新妻子很奇怪地問：“你在干什么？孩子得等很長時間才能用這些東西，你怎么這么著急啊？”
Bob answered, “you're quite wrong, my dear. Our baby is not an ordinary baby. It came in seven days instead of nine months. So it will certainly be ready to learn to read and write in a few weeks from now.”
鮑勃回答說：“親愛的，你錯了。我們的孩子不是個普通的孩子，他七天就出世了，而不是通常的九個月，因此他幾周內就會學會讀書寫字的。”
