Lesson 54 Sticky fingers
First listen and then answer the question.
What two interruptions did the writer have?
After breakfast, i sent the children to school and then i went to the shops.
It was still early when i returned home.
The children were at school, my husband was at work and the house was quiet.
So i decided to make some meat pies.
In a short time, i was busy mixing butter, flour and my hands were soon covered with sticky pistry[pastry 面粉糕饼,馅饼皮].
At exactly that moment, the telephone rang.
Nothing could be more annoying.
I picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers,
i was too amazed[dismayed 沮丧的] when i recognized the voice was[of] Halen Bace.
It took me 10 minutes to persuade her to ring back later.
At last i handed off the receiver. What a mess!
There were pistry[pastry] of[on] my fingers on the telephone and on the door knobs.
I had no sooner gone[got] back to the chicken than the door bell rang, loud enough to wake up[] the dead.
This time it was a post man, and he wanted me to sign for a registered letter.
