And Anna didn’t have much money as a cleaner. 安娜·莫里森是一位单身母亲，在丈夫去世后独自抚养三个孩子，约瑟夫、凯瑟琳和汤姆。当清洁工安娜也没有多少钱。 Before Tom’s 6th birthday, Anna saved some money. She knew it wasn’t much, but she could at least treat her children to one proper meal on the special day. So on Tom’s birthday, Anna took her children to a local café. After reading the menu, she realized she could only afford one dish. The waitress had already brought them water and was waiting for their order, and Anna was too shy to leave. So she decided to buy something within her budget. 在汤姆6岁生日之前，安娜存了一些钱。她知道这不算什么，但在这个特殊的日子里，她至少可以请孩子们吃一顿合适的饭。因此，在汤姆生日那天，安娜带着她的孩子们去了当地的一家咖啡馆。看完菜单后，她意识到自己只能吃一道菜。女服务员已经给他们端了水，正在等他们点餐，安娜不好意思离开。所以她决定在预算范围内买点东西。 Finally, she settled on a plate of noodles and meatballs. When the dinner arrived, Tom cried, “Mom, one dish isn’t enough for the four of us. And I want a drink with my food，”“Yes, Mommy!” Catherine and Joseph cried together. 最后，她吃了一盘面条和肉丸。晚餐到了，汤姆哭着说：“妈妈，一道菜不够我们四个人吃。我想和我的食物一起喝一杯。”“是的，妈妈！”凯瑟琳和约瑟夫一起哭了。 “I’m sorry，” Anna apologized. “For the time being, let’s have this. I promise to do better on your next birthday.” She then divided the foods among her children. As the kids finished their food, Catherine said, “Mommy, I’m still hungry. Can we get something else?” Tom added, “How about a cake? We can’t celebrate a birthday without a cake! Please, Mom! I’ll wash my hands and be right back! Then we can order it!” With that, Tom rushed to the washroom; Catherine and Joseph followed. “对不起，”安娜道歉。“暂时，让我们吃这个吧。我保证在你的下一个生日做得更好。”然后她把食物分给了孩子们。当孩子们吃完食物时，凯瑟琳说：“妈妈，我还饿。我们能吃点别的吗？”汤姆补充道：“蛋糕怎么样？没有蛋糕我们就不能庆祝生日！求你了，妈妈！我洗手后马上回来！然后我们就可以点了！”说完，汤姆冲到洗手间；凯瑟琳和约瑟夫紧随其后。 As the children left, Anna murmured in tears, “How do I tell them I don’t have any money on me?” Suddenly, she saw an old lady limped(一瘸一拐) towards her. This woman was dining nearby.
