The First Time to Entertain Guests One day, when I was six years old, my aunt came to see us from Shanghai. My parents and brother happened to be out then.Itwas late in the afternoon. The room was a little dark. My aunt felt tired. I asked her to sit down and have a rest. When areyour daddy and mummy, my dear? asked Aunt. They have gone shopping and will be back in an hour. Ill fetch a cup of tea foryou, aunty. When I went into the kitchen, a good idea came into my mind: After a long journey my aunt must be very hungry.Ill give her a cup of milk instead of a cup of tea. When I opened the cupboard. I saw a bottle of milk powder in it. Ipoured a cup of the milk and gave it to my aunt. Thank you very much. Its verykind of you, she said. Please tastethe milk. Has it enough sugar? My aunt took a sip of the milk and spilt it out at once. What is it, Lily? she askedin surprise. Its milk, I said loudly and proudly. But it doesnt taste like milk. Where did you get it? I took Auntinto the kitchen and showed the bottle to her. Oh, it turned out to be a bottle of washing powder!In the evening my parentscame back. When they heard what I did, my mother said to me with a smile, You are great. You have learned to entertainguests without us.Several years have passed. Now I am a middle school student.
