The other day, my brother and I were walking along the main street of our town, when we noticed a large poster on a building advertising a nearby fair (展览会). “Let’s go to the fair!” shouted my seven-year-old brother, full of excitement. “No, we’re not going,” I said. “We have to go to the library to return some books and then go to the grocer’s to buy some food.”
“But the fair will be fun!” he persisted. “We can have a lot of fun there!”
“No, we’re not going,” I repeated. “We have to go to the library and then go to the grocer’s.”
Finally, against my will, my brother and I went to the fair. The fair was full of people and was very noisy. We walked around for a while and then my brother wanted to go home. “But we just got here!” I said. “We haven’t seen everything yet!”
“I don’t care,” he said. “I want to go home.”
“All right,” I said. “Let’s go home.”
We started walking home. After a while, my brother said， “Look! The fair!” We looked in the direction he was pointing and saw the fair again.
“All right,” I said. “Let’s go back to the fair.”
We turned around and started back to the fair. As we were walking along, a clown (小丑) on a unicycle (独轮车) passed us, waving and smiling. My brother was very happy and wanted to go over and talk to him. “No, we can’t stop now,” I said. “We have to get back to the fair.”
We finally got back to the fair and walked around for a while. We then decided to go home because my little brother was getting tired. On our way home, we passed by the library and the grocer’s, but we didn’t stop to do any shopping or anything else. We just kept walking home.
