It was a skipping- rope. Mary stared at it.
'What is it?'she asked.
‘Don't they have skipping-ropes in India? Well, this is how you use it. Just watch me.'
Martha took the rope and ran into the middle of the room. She counted up to a hundred as she skipped.
`That looks lovely, 'said Mary. 'Your mother is very kind. Do you think I could ever skip like that?'
‘Just try, 'said Martha. 'Mother says it'll make you strong and healthy. Skip outside in the fresh air.'
上一段讲到玛莎带回来一个礼物，那是玛莎妈妈送给玛丽的。
这是一根跳绳。玛丽紧盯着它。
“这是什么？”她问。
“他们在印度没有跳绳吗？好吧，这是它的使用方法，看好了。”
玛莎带着绳子跑到房间中央。当她跳的时候数到一百。
“这看起来太可爱了，”玛丽说，“你的妈妈非常善良。你认为我确实能像那样吗？”
'试一下吧,' 玛莎说，“妈妈说在外面的新鲜空气中跳，可以让你变得强壮和健康。”
