朗文3L看听学英语第三册 Lesson 117

　　Lesson 117 Father used to be a Boy Scout¹
Narrator: The Clarks went camping
last week-end.
They put up their tent in a field.
Father: If you collect some sticks, children,
I shall light a fire.
Sandy: Here you are, dad.
Sue: We’ve brought lots of dry sticks.
Mother: Here’s a box of matches, Jim.
Father: I don’t want any matches!
I used to be a Boy Scout.
If I rub these two sticks together,
I can light a fire.
Sue: What’s the matter, dad?
Father: I’ve been rubbing
these two sticks together
for a long time
but nothing’s happened yet!
Mother: I'll light it, Jim.
It’s easy to light a fire
with two sticks-
if one of the sticks is a match!
