“You'll have to take care of the baby today,” a woman told her husband. “I'm not feeling well.”

　　“Then you must stay in bed and rest,” her husband said. “I'll be pleased to look after our baby.”

　　“Thank you. I'll have a quiet day and I'll get better soon,” his wife told him.

　　“Shall I do the shopping for you?” her husband asked. She was very pleased and said, “That will help me very much. I'll give you a list of things to buy.” She wrote out the list and gave it to him.

　　“You can get all these things at the shop,” she said. “You can put the baby in the shopping cart, (手推車) then you won't have to leave him outside.”

　　The man took the baby to the shop and put him in the shopping cart. Then he pushed the shopping cart along the rows of things to buy and looked for the things on his list.

　　At first all was well, but then the baby began to cry. Then he started to scream (尖叫).

　　“Keep calm (安靜), Bill,” the man said. “Don't get angry. Don't shout, Bill.”

　　A woman in the shop heard him saying these things. She walked to him and said, “I think you are great. You are so patient (耐心) with your little Bill.”

　　“Madam,” the man said, “I'm Bill. He's Edward.”
