問題詳情：

She got up early to be ready for the post. From the second floor flat she could see the postman when he came down the street, and the little boy from ground floor brought up her letters on the rare occasions when anything came.

Today she was sure there would be something. Myra wouldn’t forget her mother’s birthday, even if she seldom wrote at other times. Of course Myra was busy. The old lady was proud of Myra. Her husband had been made Mayor, and Myra herself had got a medal for her work.

   The old lady was eighty today. She had put on her best dress. perhaps—perhaps Myra might come. After all, eighty was a special birthday.

Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened her cheeks. She was excited—like a child. She would enjoy her day.

Yesterday Mrs. Morrison had given the flat an extra clean, and today she had brought a card and a bunch of flowers when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake, and in the afternoon she was going down there to tea. The little boy, Johnnie, had been up with a packet of mints, and said he wouldn’t go out to play until the post had come. “I guess you’ll get lots of presents.” he said.

What would she like? A pair of slippers perhaps. Or a new coat. A coat would be lovely. Blue’s such a pretty colour. Jim had always liked he in blue. Or a table lamp. Or a book, a travel book, with pictures, or a little clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things.

【回答】

She stood by the window, watching. The postman turned round the corner on his bike. Her heart beat fast. Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate. After a while Johnnie ran up and knocked at her door. “Granny, granny,” he shouted. “I’ve got your post.” He gave her four envelopes. Three were unsealed cards from old friends. The fourth was sealed, in Myra’s writing. “No parcel, Johnnie?” “No, granny.” Maybe the parcel was too large to come by letter post. That was it. It would come later by parcel post. She must be patient.

Almost unwillingly she tore the envelope open. Folded in the card was a piece

of paper. Written on the card was a message under the printed Happy Birthday—

Buy your something nice with the cheque, Myra and Harold. The cheque fluttered

to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. Slowly the old lady bent to pick it up. Her present, her lovely present. With trembling fingers she tore it into little

pieces.
