是女孩还是男孩？

‖Aunt Mamima

摇下车窗问

―

女孩，

男孩回答。

Mamima rolled up her window before the mosquitoes came in. The two boys vanished

behind them. When they reached the house, they found that the old man was waiting on

the

verandah

with

a

lantern

in

his

hand. Moths

were

shuddering round

and round

the

lantern, though the old man was oblivious to them. He had come out because he had

heard the throbbing of the engine in the distance. The night had been silent except for the

questioning cry of an owl and the continual orchestral sound of crickets in the bushes. The

throbbing

of

the

engine

had,

therefore,

travelled

through

the

silence

to

the

old

man’s

listenin

g ear

, and to his wife’s ear

, even when the car was relatively far away and beyond

their range of vision. They had pondered over the sound, and finally, he had lit the lantern

and shuffled out. ―I told her

,‖ he said, referring to his wife. ―I told her that

I heard the car

,

I knew it was the car

, I told her you were coming.‖
