It was only two stops down the road, but the way his parents kept going on about it, you might have

thought Peter was taking Kate to the North Pole. He was given instructions the night before. When he woke up, he had to listen to them over again. Then his parents repeated them all through breakfast. As the children were on their way out the door, their mother, Viola, ran through the rules one last time. “Everyone must think I'm stupid,” Peter thought. “Perhaps I am.” He was to keep hold of Kate’s hand at all times. They were to sit close to the front with Kate nearest the window. They were not to get into conversations with “l(fā)unatics”(瘋子). Peter was to tell the bus driver the name of his stop in a loud voice, without forgetting to say “please”. He was to keep his eyes on the route.

Peter repeated all this back to his mother and set out for the bus stop with his sister. They held hands all the way. Actually he didn’t mind this because the truth was he really liked Kate. He simply hoped that none of his friends would see him holding a girl’s hand. The bus came. They got on and sat close to the front. It was ridiculous（荒唐的）sitting there holding hands and there were some boys from school there, so they let go of each other.

Peter was feeling proud of himself. He could take care of his sister anywhere. She could depend on him. If they were alone together on a mountain pass and came face to face with a pack of hungry wolves, he would know exactly what to do. Taking care and not to make any sudden movement, he would move away with Kate until they had their backs to a large rock.

Ridiculous! It was daydreams like this could make him miss his stop if he wasn't careful. The bus had come to a stop. The kids from his school were already getting off. Peter leaped to his feet and just managed to jump to the pavement（人行道）as the bus was starting off again. It was more than fifty yards down the road when he realized .

While we were about to cross an overbridge, two pupils about 6 to 10 years old caught our attention. One of them said to me, “Good morning, Aunt! Thanks for your supporting the traffic rules. Please keep it up!” She gave me a red flower. Though there’s something uncomfortable, facing such a lovely girl and fresh flower, I didn’t think a lot.

In the supermarket, when I lined up waiting to pay the bill, two boys more than 17 years old came up to me and said, “Aunt, may I borrow your membership card?”...(A few seconds)

Stop! There’s something wrong. Oh my god! “Aunt”, the same word again! I was about to snarl(咆哮), but I held it. I smiled and asked them with my softest voice, “Why did you call me ‘Aunt’?” He didn’t answer.

In my deep heart, I had an impulse(沖動(dòng)) to tell him aloud that I’m only 20 years old and I’m a golden-aged girl like a beautiful flower. I turned to my roommate and complained about it. She laughed loudly for a few minutes. “Look at yourself, your womanly curly hair (Ha ha), your womanly clothes. You’re nothing but an ‘Aunt’ !(Ha ha)”

I drooped(垂落) my head.
