“It's jt that the dical expe ho have been stolely. y other is afraid of beg stolen aga and wants to ge the rhubarb. （只是最近家里的医疗费被偷了，妈妈怕再被偷，想把大黄换了。）She said that the rhubarb is too old to catch a thief, so I thought that the thief would e agathe iddle of the night and I would be responsible f hi away!（她说大黄年纪大了，连个小偷都抓不住，我就想半夜里那个小偷再来，我来负责赶跑他！）”
特雷弗解释完，抓住特雷茜修女的胳膊：“Sister, sce you're back,you persuade o not to sell rhubarb? It's so old that it will be eaten if it is sold, that is, by the people who eat dog at.（姐姐，既然你回来了，你可不可以劝劝妈不要把大黄卖了啊，它都这么老了，被卖出去也就是吃狗肉的那帮人收，它会被吃掉的。）”
特雷弗的声音哽咽，大黄不是家里的第一只狗，是特雷弗出生后才买回来的狗，它陪伴了特雷弗一整个童年，大黄跟他比特雷茜还要亲。
听到大黄要被卖掉，特雷弗第一个舍不得，可是他也知道妈妈的话很对，爸爸的医疗费不够用，就算现在不卖，以后也是要卖出去凑医药费的。
特雷茜修女安慰着弟弟特雷弗，特雷弗的眼泪还没有收回去，卧室里传出来了声音。
“trevor? Is that you out there? why aren't you sleepg? we have a css toorrow!（特雷弗？是你在外面吗？你怎么还不睡觉？明天还要上课呢！）”是半夜起床的特雷夫人听到门外的响动。
特雷弗慌了，他不知道要不要和妈妈说姐姐回来了，因为姐姐在对他比手势，让他不要说出去，可是为什么呢？妈妈看到姐姐会很高兴啊，她明明很想念姐姐。
特雷夫人见没有人回答她，警惕起来：“trevor? Is that trevor?（特雷弗？是特雷弗吗？）”
她拿起防身的猎枪就要走出来，特雷弗听到声音立马开口：“Yes, o! It's ! Rhubarb's got a bri his foot! I' g out!（是的妈妈！是我，大黄被砖头夹住了脚，我出来看看！）”
“All right, go to bed early, keep your voice down, don't disturb your dad.（那就行，早点睡觉，小点声，别吵到你爸爸。）”里面中年女人的声音明显放松下来，将猎枪放回原处，转身回到床上。
等了很久都没有动静，特雷弗才小声询问特雷茜修女：“Sister, aren't you stayg one night? Not seeg o and dad?（姐姐，你不住一晚吗？不跟爸爸妈妈见面吗？）”
特雷茜修女摸着他的脸摇摇头：“No, y sister has sothg to do. I' leavg soon. I jt want to e bad see dad. how does dad look?（不了，姐姐还有事，一会儿就走，我只是想回来看看爸爸，爸爸看起来怎么样？）”
说到这个特雷弗看起来有些沮丧：“I have never seen y father so weak, alost every day lygbed, it is difficult to go to the ground, y other looks very tired every day, pig vegetables will fall asleep.（我从没见过爸爸这么虚弱过，几乎每天都躺在床上，下地都很困难，妈妈每天看起来也很累，摘菜都会睡着。）”
特雷茜修女听到这话真的想不顾一切就留下来，可是她不能，她如果在教堂突然失踪会引起很大骚乱的，说不定还会给家人带来麻烦。
“trevor, you're a big boy. You o help your o with your dad, share the hoework, and I'll try to get back for a while.（特雷弗，你是个大孩子了，你要经常帮助妈妈照顾爸爸，分担一下家务，我会努力争取回来一段时间的。）”特雷茜修女决定回去再跟神父磨一磨，希望能回来几天。
特雷弗握拳说出自己最近做的事情：“I have! I helped y other pick vegetables and wash vegetables! I will help her to sell vegetables outside on weekends!（我有啊！我帮妈妈摘菜洗菜！周末还会帮她去外面卖菜！）”最近转码严重，让我们更有动力，更新更快，麻烦你动动小手退出阅读模式。谢谢
