1 . One Saturday morning, Tommy’s mum had a bad cold and she had to stay in bed.
“Mum is ill now. What can I do to help?” Tommy said to himself.
Then he got a good idea. Saturday is the day when Mum does the laundry. “Why don’t I wash my own clothes this week?” Then he ran to his room to get his clothes. He put them into a washing machine (机器). Finally, he closed the door of it and started the machine.
After the washing was over, Tommy took out the clothes. Everything seemed clean, and he felt very happy. Then he saw a pink T-shirt.
Tommy stopped. “Where does it come from? I don’t have a pink T-shirt,” Tommy said to himself. When he took out more clothes, there were more pink clothes! What was wrong?
Then Tommy saw a bright red sock. When he took it with his hand, he found that the sock turned his hand red. “The sock must turn all of my white clothes pink,” Tommy thought. He was happy to have the pink T-shirt.
The next day, Tommy put on his pink T-shirt and went to have breakfast. “Where did you get that T-shirt?” Mum asked. “It looks nice.”
Tommy smiled. “I made it yesterday when I washed the clothes. I like it.”
“I like it too.” said Mum. And they began their breakfast.
