Jerry has a happy family — his parents, his sister and he. They live in a small town, and it is near the city.

One day, Jerry goes to a shopping centre in the city to buy a new pair of trousers. There are too many people in the shop, so he doesn’t want to try them on there.

He goes back home and tries on the trousers in his bedroom. They are too long for him and he wants to ask his mother or sister to shorten (剪短) them for him. When he goes to his mother, she is cooking lunch and doesn’t have any time to help him. He goes to his sister, but she is washing clothes and shoes. “The new trousers are too long. Can you help me to shorten them five centimetres (厘米)?” His mother and sister are busy, and they don’t say anything. Jerry goes out to fly kites with his classmates.

Jerry’s father is not busy, so he helps his son shorten the trousers and plays computer games again in the study. When his mother finishes cooking, she goes to Jerry’s bedroom and helps him shorten the trousers five centimetres, too. But she doesn’t tell her daughter about it and goes out.

An hour later, Jerry’s sister remembers her brother’s trousers. So she goes quietly into the room and also helps her brother to shorten the trousers five centimetres.
