四季

一年有四季，每个季节有三个月，每个季节的气候都不一样。生命的

轮回由四季限制。

第一个季度是春季。春季的三个月为三月、四月和五月。在这段时间

里，天气温煦、晴朗，万物复苏。冬眠的动物们也醒过来了，农夫们起先

忙农活。

其次个季节是夏季，包括六月、七月和八月。天气特殊热，而且老是

下雨。人们能游泳、观光。夏季也是万物生长的好时候。

第三个季节是秋季，三个月分别是九月、十月和十一月。天气越来

越凉，树叶起先飘落。这是一个收获的季节。

最终一个季节是冬季，这一季包括十二月、一月和二月。天气特殊冷，大

多数植物都死了。有时候还下雪，人们可以滑冰和滑雪。但是冬天不会太

长，因为春天立即就要驾临了。

我回到家时，确定已是凌晨两点左右了。我按响了门铃，试图唤醒我的

妻子，但她睡得很熟。于是，我从花园的小棚里搬来了一个梯子，把它靠

在墙边，起先向卧房的窗口爬去。快要爬到窗口时，下面一个人用挖苦的

口吻说："我看不必在夜里这个时候擦窗子吧。〃我向下面看去。当我看清

是一个警察时，差一点儿从梯子上掉下去。我答复了他的话，但立即又后

悔不该那样说，我是这样说的：“我宠爱在夜里擦窗子。”

“我也是的，〃警察用同样的声调答复，“请宽恕我打断了您。当一个人

在忙着干活时，我是不情愿去打断他的，但请您跟我到警察局去一趟好

吗？"

“可我更情愿呆在这儿，"我说，"您瞧，我忘带钥匙了。〃

"什么？"他大声问。

“钥匙！"我喊道。

幸运得很，这喊声惊醒了我的妻子。就在警察起先向我爬上来时，她

翻开了窗子。

我家的狗雷克斯，过去常坐在大门外面叫。每当它想到花园里来时，便

汪汪叫个不停，直到有人把门翻开。由于邻居们对狗叫很有看法，所以我

丈夫花了几个星期的时间训练它用脚爪按住门闩把自己放进来。雷克斯很

快成了开门的专家。然而上星期我刚要出去买东西时，发觉它正呆在花园

里边靠门的地方。这次它叫着让人把它放出去！从那以后，它养成了另外

一种坏习惯。它从外面把门一翻开，就走进花园，等着门自动关上。这之

后他就坐下汪汪叫起来，直到有人来把它放出去。出去之后，它又立即把

自己放进来，接着再起先叫。昨天，我丈夫把门卸了下来，雷克斯很生气，

此后我们便再也没有见到它。
