　　I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.

　　I announced, “They’re on the wrong feet.”

　　She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.

　　"They’re my brother’s boots, you know, “ I said. “I hate them!”

　　Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying (烦人的)little girl. She pushed and pushed, less gently this time. With a greater sigh, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your mittens (连指手套)?”

　　I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”
