（一）英文原文
Three Black Umbrellas
Sally was a student. It was going to be her mother's birthday. She wanted to buy her a present that would be nice and useful but not expensive.
A week before her mother's birthday, she went shopping after a quick and simple lunch. When she had been looking for half an hour, she found a shop that was selling cheap umbrellas, and decided to take a black one. Her mother had lost hers the month before.
She thought, "You could carry that when you are wearing clothes of any color." So she decided to buy a lovely black umbrella and took it back to the school with her until her classes had finished.
On her way home in the train that evening she felt hungry because she had such a small lunch that she went along to the buffet car for a sandwich and a cup of coffee.
Sally told them her mother's umbrella was missing and she had to get off at the next station.
After the three other passengers heard the story, they asked her for her mother's address so that they could send the umbrella to her if somebody had taken it by mistake, and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.
The next week, Sally heard from her mother. It said, "Thank you very much for your lovely presents, but why did you send me three similar black umbrellas?"
（二）中文译文
三把黑伞
萨莉是个学生，再过几天就是她母亲的生日了。她想给母亲买一个价格不高，但漂亮、实用的礼物。
在她母亲生日之前的一个星期，萨莉匆忙地吃了顿简单的午餐后就出去购物了。看了半个小时后，她发现了一家卖便宜雨伞的商店，决定买把黑色的伞。一个月之前她母亲把她的伞丢了。
她想：“穿任何颜色的衣服，都可以携带黑伞。”于是她决定买把可爱的黑伞带回学校，直到课结束时才带回家。
那天晚上，在她乘火车回家的路上，因为午餐吃得很少，她觉得饿，于是走进餐车，要了一份三明治和一杯咖啡。
她告诉他们自己为妈妈买的伞不见了，而且下一站她就得下车了。其他的三位乘客听到后，都询问她母亲的地址，以便有人拿错了伞再拿回来时，他们可以把伞寄给她母亲。
在接下来的一周，萨莉收到她母亲的来信。上面写道：“非常感谢你送我的漂亮礼物，但你为什么寄给我三把相似的黑伞呢？”
