《哈利和爱唱歌的邻居1》Harry and the Lady Next Door 1

The Party Harry was a white dog with black spots. He loved all his neighbors, all except one. He did not love the lady next door. The lady next door sang. She sang high and loud. When she sang, Harry’s ears hurt. She sang higher than the peanut whistle. When she sang, the peanut man put his hands over his ears. She sang louder than the siren on the fire engine. When she sang, the firemen put their hands over their ears. She sang higher and louder than the cats. When she sang, the cats ran away. Harry tried everything to make her stop. He howled under her window. His friends howled too. But it did not do any good. The lady next door went on singing. She sang higher and louder than ever. One day Harry’s family gave a party. They invited the lady next door. She came with her music. When she started to sing, Harry almost bit her leg. But he bit the leg of the piano instead. The family sent Harry out of the room. “You are a bad dog,” they said. Harry just wagged his tail. As he walked to the door some people said, “Poor Harry.” But others whispered, “The lucky dog!” When Harry pushed the door open the wind blew in. It blew the pages of music off the piano. They blew all around the room. Everyone tried to catch the music but no one could. The pages blew out the door and into the garden. They blew over the fence and up into the trees. Harry caught some of the pages but he did not bring them back. He ran away with them.
