One day at a park, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench (长椅) near a playground. “That’s my son over there,” she said, pointing to (指着) a little boy in a red sweater.
“He’s a lovely boy,” the man said. “That’s my daughter on the bike in the white dress.” Then, looking at his watch, he called to his daughter, “We have to leave for home now, Rosa.”
“Just five minutes, Dad,” Rosa said, “Please, just five more minutes.”
The man agreed and Rosa went to ride his bike happily. Five minutes later, the father stood and called again to his daughter, “Time to go now?”
