Full of Surprises意外的惊喜ACTI教师讲解版视频

In the Stewarts' house on a Saturady morning. Robbie and Grandpa, Malcolm Stewart, are speaking with each other in the kitchen.

Robbie:The mailman just dropped some mail in our box, Grandpa.

Grandpa:Probably a lot of advertising and bills. [joking] Why don't you write to me, Robbie, so I can get some interesting mail? [He goes to the patio to plant some seeds. ]

Robbie:[He enters the patio and looks through the mail. ]You were right, Grandpa. Advertising, bills, bills, advertising.

Grandpa:It's just like I said, Robbie. Nothing interesting.

Robbie:You won't believe it, Grandpa, but there's a letter here addressed to you, Mr. Malcolm Stewart, and it looks like a personal letter.

Grandpa:Oh, it must be a bill.

Robbie:I don't think so. The return name and address is Pete Waters, RFD Number 1, Chesterton.

Grandpa:You're joking. Pete Waters?

Robbie:Pete Waters, RFD Number 1 , Chesterton. You know him?

Grandpa:Do I know Pete Waters? You bet I do! [He takes the letter from Robbie.] He was my roommate in college. He visited with Grandma and me in Florida about five years ago.

[He opens the letter.]

Robbie:What does he say? Is he OK?

Grandpa:[reading] Yeah, he's fine. Just fine. He's writing to invite me to spend a weekend with him at his farm. He's

planning a get-together with two or three other college friends.Kind of a fifty-year anniversary reunion.

Robbie:Sounds like fun. Fifty years? Wow!

Grandpa:It sounds like fun to me, too, Robbie.

Robbie:What kind of farm does he have?

Grandpa:I've never been there, Robbie, but he has chickens and cows and all. That means fresh eggs and fresh milk.

Robbie:Does he have a family?

Grandpa:No, he doesn't, Robbie. He never married.He's not as lucky as I am to have a family and grandchildren. I'm a lucky man.

Robbie:How come he never got married?

Grandpa:That's a good question, Robbie. A very good question. He never married because the girl he was in love with in college married someone else. As simple as that. He never got over it.

Robbie:He must have loved her very much.

Grandpa:Yes. Very much. Lillian Winters. She was in our class.

Robbie:And what happened?

Grandpa:She was in love with Donald McGrath, the quarterback on our football team.

Robbie:Football players are always popular with the ladies.

Grandpa:She liked Pete, and they went to dances to gether. But her heart was with Donald.

Robbie:Did he ever get over it?

Grandpa:No, he never did.

Robbie:Where is she today?

Grandpa:I don't know. Maybe Lillian will be at the re union.

Robbie:You think so?

Grandpa:Pete's full of surprises.

Robbie:I wish I could go there with you, Grandpa.What do you think the surprise will be?

Grandpa:With Pete, you never know,Robbie.

Robbie:Won't it be exciting to see all your college friends there again?

Grandpa:It is already. I'm kind of excited about going now. [He thinks aloud.] Next weekend… sleep over Friday and Saturday night and come back Sunday. I can't wait!

Robbie:Don't you think you ought to call Pete and tell him you're coming?

Grandpa:You're reading my mind, Robbie.
