阅读理解Derek was a little boy.He lived with his parents in a small house in a town.
Derek was a little boy.He lived with his parents in a small house in a town.They did not have a big garden.
Derek liked animals very much.One day he said to his father,“I've got a little money,Daddy.Can I buy a pony (小马),please?”
But his father answered.“No,Derek,we can't have a pony in the gar-den,because it's too small and we haven't got a field.It's unkind(不仁慈)for people to keep ponies in small gardens without a field.Ponies need a lot of space.”
Derek did not want to be unkind to a pony,so he did not ask his father again.
But then his father got a job in another place,and he and his family left their small nice garden and a field,and Derek was very happy.
There was a farm near their new house,and there were horses,cows and a few sheep there.Derek went to see them every day.He was five years old now,and he began to think of a pony again.
“My birthday is next month,”he thought.“Perhaps Daddy will buy me a pony then.” After a little time.he began to talk about ponies to his parents again.
Then his birthday came.His parents gave him a few nice presents──but there was no pony.Derek was sad (难过的).
But then suddenly his Uncle Tom arrived.He was a farmer──and he had a big pony with him.
“Hello,Derek,” Uncle Tom said.“Happy birthday.This is your birt- hday present from me and Aunt Mary.”
Derek was a little afraid,because the pony was very big.He looked at it for a few minutes and then he said to his uncle,“Is he for me or am I for him?”
