it is very cold, too.”
But it was not glass. It was ice. It was on a bucket(桶)of water. John said, 'Who put this glass here?I
am going to take it into the house.”He took the ice to his father and said,'This is a beautiful piece of glass, but it is very cold and wet.It was on a bucket of water in the garden.”Mr Robinson smiled and said,'Take it to the kitchen(厨房), put it in front of the stove(炉子)there, and dry(弄干)it.'
