Question

It was Jimmy’s fifth birthday. He got quite a lot of nice birthday presents from his family, and one of them was a beautiful big drum(鼓).

    “Who gave him that thing?” Jimmy’s father asked when he saw it.

    “His grandfather did,” answered Jimmy’s mother.

    “Oh,” said his father.

    Of course, Jimmy liked his drum very much. He made a terrible noise with it, but his mother did not mind. His father was working during the day, and Jimmy was in bed when he got home in the evening, so he did not hear the noise.

    But one of the neighbours did not like the noise at all. So one morning a few days later, she took a knife and went to Jimmy’s house while he was playing his drum. She said to him, “Hello, Jimmy.
