It was raining when Tom was on his way home. He opened his umbrella and walked faster. Suddenly he saw an old woman staggering forward with a stick in her hand. She hadn't got an umbrella with her and was wet all over. Tom went up to her and tried to share his umbrella with her. But the old woman was tall and he was too short to hold it high enough. Then he saw the old woman's stick and a good idea came to him. He tried hard to tie the stick to the handle of the umbrella. Then the umbrella was long enough for both of them. The old woman thanked him again and again. Then they went on walking home.

当汤姆在回家的路上时突然下起了雨。他打开伞走得更快。突然，他看见一个老奶奶蹒跚着拄着拐杖。她没有伞，全身都湿透了。汤姆试图和她共用一把伞。但老奶奶个子高高的，他太矮了不能把伞举得足够高的。然后他看到了老奶奶的拐杖，于是有了主意。他努力把拐杖粘在伞柄上。然后伞就足够高来遮挡他们。老奶奶一再向他表示感谢。然后他们继续走回家。
