女孩打鼓扰民不听劝说 父母急中生智巧化解
Nicole has a new set of drums. She likes playing the drums. She practices playing the drums day and night. Her parents tell her, “Nicole, we are happy that you like the drums, but you can’t play the drums all the time. There are other people in the apartment. There are other people in the building. There are other people in the neighborhood. And they all need to sleep at night!”
Nicole listens to them. She says she understands, but she doesn’t stop doing it. She practices playing the drums all the time! Her parents complain(抱怨), her sister complains, the neighbors complain. Even Nicole’s cat complains! “OK, OK,” Nicole says, “I will be a good girl. I will do it more quietly.” But this doesn’t help much. No one can work, no one can rest, and no one can sleep.
One day Nicole comes home and sees her parents and her sister in the living room. She sees new things: a guitar, a trumpet(小号), and a piano. Nicole is very amazed! “Wow!” she says, “What are these?” “Well,” her father answers, “we see that we can’t stop you, so we decide to join you!”
