Mrs. Simpson made the best soup in town.
But this time she forgot to put some salt in it.

Mrs. Simpson put her soup on the stove.
Then she began to sweep the floor.

Suddenly she thought about the soup.

She realized she had not put any salt in it.
她还没往汤里放盐。
So she called one of her daughters to help.

“Linda，” she said， “will you put some salt into the soup？
“琳达，”她说，“你可不可以往汤里加些盐呀？”
“My hands are too dirty.”
“我的手太脏了。”
“I can‘t， Mom， I’m washing my hair，” said Linda.
“我不行呀妈妈，我正在洗头呢，”琳达说。
Then Mrs. Simpson turned to Lucy，
“Lucy， will you put some salt into the soup？”
“露西，你能不能往汤里加些盐呀？”
“I can‘t，” said Lucy. “I have to sew my dress.”

“Monica， will you put some salt into the soup？” asked Mrs. Simpson.
“莫尼卡，你帮着往汤里加些盐行吗？”
“No， Mom，” said Monica. “Ask somebody else to do it.”
“不行呀，妈妈，”莫尼卡说。“让别人来做吧”
“Won‘t anyone help me？ Vivian， go put some salt into the soup”
“没人帮帮我吗？薇薇安，去，给汤加点盐
“Tell Jessica to do it， Mom. I‘m ironing the tablecloth，” Vivian said.
“妈妈让杰希卡去吧，我正熨桌布呢，”薇薇安说。
“I can‘t， Mom. I’m looking for my button. I‘m not going to do anything else until I find it，” Jessica said.
“我不行呀，妈妈。我正在找我那颗纽扣呢。不找到扣子，我什么都不会做。”杰希卡说。

She washed her hands and salted the soup herself.
