长裤裁短，威廉能穿吗？
William bought a pair of pants on the Internet. He put them on, and he found that they were three centimeters long. Then he went to see his mother and his sister. They were preparing dinner in the kitchen. “The new pants are too long, and they need to be shortened about three centimeters. Would one of you like to do this for me, please?” His mother and sister were busy and neither of them said anything.
The mother shortened the pants three centimeters after she had cooked the meal. But she didn’t tell her daughter about it. After supper, the sister remembered what William had said, so she shortened the pants three centimeters without saying to anyone.
