   Kim must look everywhere
   Kim /məst/ /lʊk/   /ˈevriweə(r)/
   
   
   ‘O-o-oh!’ cried Kim. ‘My umbrella! My father’s umbrella’.
   /kraɪd/ Kim. ‘/maɪ/ /ʌmˈbrelə/ ‘/maɪ/ /ˈfɑːðər/ /ʌmˈbrelə/
   She looked around quickly.
   /ʃi/  /lʊk/ /əˈraʊnd/  /ˈkwɪkli/
   She saw Mrs Parks and ran to her.
   /ʃi/  /sɔː/ /ˈmɪsɪz/ /pɑːk/ /ənd/ /ræn/  /tuː/ /hər/
   The big boy, who was mending books, was not there.
   /ðə/ /bɪɡ/ /bɔɪ/ /huː/ /wəz/ /mend/ /bʊk/ /wəz/ /nɒt/ /ðeə(r)/
   Mrs Parks was alone.
   /ˈmɪsɪz/ /pɑːk/ /wəz/ /əˈləʊn/
   Mrs Parks jumped up from her chair.
   /ˈmɪsɪz/ /pɑːk/  /dʒʌmp/ /ʌp/  /frəm/ /hə(r)/  /tʃeə(r)/
   ‘What’s the matter, Kim?’ she asked.
   /wɒt/ /ðə/  /ˈmætə(r)/. Kim /ʃi/  /ɑːsk/
   ‘What’s wrong?’ Kim began to cry.
   /wɒt/  /rɒŋ/  Kim  /bɪˈɡæn/ /tuː/ /kraɪ/
   Big tears ran down her face. ‘My umbrella,’ she cried.
   /bɪɡ/ /teə(r)/ /ræn/ /daʊn/ /hə(r)/  /feɪs/. /maɪ/ /ʌmˈbrelə/, /ʃi/  /kraɪd/
   ‘My father’s big, black umbrella has gone.’
   /maɪ/ /ˈfɑːðər/ /bɪɡ/, /blæk/ /ʌmˈbrelə/ /həz/  /ɡɔːn/
   Kim pointed to the box for wet umbrellas.
   Kim  /ˈpɔɪntɪd/ /tuː/ /ðə/  /bɒks/  /fə(r)/ /wet/ /ʌmˈbrelə/
   ‘I left it there in the corner.
   /aɪ/ /left/ /ɪt/ /ðeə(r)/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /ˈkɔːnə(r)/
   I forgot it.
   /aɪ/ /fəˈɡɒt/ /ɪt/
   I forgot it when I went home.
   /aɪ/ /fəˈɡɒt/ /ɪt/ /wen/  /aɪ/   /went/ /həʊm/
   I came back quickly, but it’s not here.’
   /aɪ/ /keɪm/ /bæk/  /ˈkwɪkli/, /bət/ /ɪt/ /nɒt/ /hɪə(r)/
   Kim looked inside to the box.
   Kim /lʊk/  /ˌɪnˈsaɪd/ /tuː/ /ðə/ /bɒks/
   She looked behind the box.
   /ʃi/  /lʊk/ /bɪˈhaɪnd/ /ðə/ /bɒks/
   She looked under the box.
   /ʃi/  /lʊk/  /ˈʌndə(r)/ /ðə/ /bɒks/
   But the umbrella was not there.
   /bət/ /ðə/ /ʌmˈbrelə/ /wəz/ /nɒt/ /ðeə(r)/
   Kim ran around the room.
   Kim /ræn/  /əˈraʊnd/ /ðə/  /ruːm/
   The library teacher was trying to catch her.
   /ðə/  /ˈlaɪbrəri/  /ˈtiːtʃə(r)/ /wəz/ /ˈtraɪɪŋ/ /tuː/ /kætʃ/ /hə(r)/
   But the umbrella was not in the Children’s Library.
   /bət/ /ðə/ /ʌmˈbrelə/ /wəz/ /nɒt/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /ˈtʃɪldrən/ /ˈlaɪbrəri/
   There was nowhere to hide it in there.
   /ðeə(r)/ /wəz/ /ˈnəʊweə(r)/ tuː/ /haɪd/ /ɪt/ /ɪn/ /ðeə(r)/
   They went downstairs to the Adults’ Library.
   /ðeɪ/ /went/ /ˌdaʊnˈsteəz/ /tuː/ /ðə/ /ˈædʌlt/ /ˈlaɪbrəri/  .
   They looked for the umbrella, but it was not there, either.
   /ðeɪ/ /lʊk/  /fə(r)/ /ðə/  /ʌmˈbrelə/, /bət/  /ɪt/ /wəz/ /nɒt/ /ðeə(r)/,  /ˈaɪðə(r)/
   Now Kim could not stop her tears.
   /naʊ/ Kim /kəd/ /nɒt/ /stɒp/ /hə(r)/  /teə(r)/.
   The library teacher said, ‘Oh, Kim, I’m sorry you have lost the umbrella.
   /ðə/  /ˈlaɪbrəri/ /ˈtiːtʃə(r)/ /sed/ Oh, Kim, /aɪm/ /ˈsɒri/  /ju/ /həv/ /lɒst/ /ðə/  /ʌmˈbrelə/
   I don’t know who took it.
   /aɪ/ /dəʊnt/ /nəʊ/ /huː/ /tʊk/ /ɪt/
   But perhaps he will bring it back.
   /bət/   /pəˈhæps/ /hi/ /wɪl/ /brɪŋ/ /ɪt/ /bæk/
   There are honest people in the world.’
   /ðeə(r)/ /ɑː(r)/ /ˈɒnɪst/ /ˈpiːpl/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /wɜːld/.
   But Kim was still crying. ‘My Grandmother will hit me,’ she said.
   /bət/   Kim /wəz/ /stɪl/ /ˈkraɪɪŋ/. /maɪ/ /ˈɡrænmʌðə(r)/ /wɪl/ /hɪt/ /mi/, /ʃi/  /sed/
   Mrs Parks said, ‘Tell your Grandmother what happened.
   /ˈmɪsɪz/ /pɑːk/ /sed/ , /tel/ /jɔː(r)/ /ˈɡrænmʌðə(r)//wɒt//ˈhæpən/
   Tell her that someone took the umbrella.
   /tel/ /hə(r)/ /ðæt/ /ˈsʌmwʌn/ /tʊk/  /ðə/ /ʌmˈbrelə/
   Tell your Grandmother that the man might bring it back.’
   /tel/ /jɔː(r)/ /ˈɡrænmʌðə(r)/ /ðæt/ /ðə/ /mæn/ /maɪt/ /brɪŋ/ /ɪt/ /bæk/
   Kim went home. Quickly she spoke to Grandmother in Chinese.
   Kim /went/ /həʊm/ ./ˈkwɪkli/ /ʃi/  /spəʊk/  /tuː/ /ˈɡrænmʌðə(r)/ /ɪn/ /ˌtʃaɪˈniːz/
   She explained that someone took the umbrella.
   /ʃi/  /ɪkˈspleɪn/ /ðæt/  /ˈsʌmwʌn/ /tʊk/ /ðə/ /ʌmˈbrelə/
   She said, ‘Perhaps he will bring it back.’
   /ʃi/  /sed/, /pəˈhæps/ /hi/ /wɪl/ /brɪŋ/ /ɪt/ /bæk/
   Grandmother hit Kim.
   /ˈɡrænmʌðə(r)/ /hɪt/ Kim
   She said, ‘I did not want you to take the umbrella, You took it to the library.
   /ʃi/ /sed/, /aɪ/ /dɪd/ /nɒt/ /wɒnt/ /ju/  /tuː/ /teɪk/  /ðə/ /ʌmˈbrelə/,  /ju/ /tʊk/ /ɪt/  /tuː/ /ðə/ /ˈlaɪbrəri/
   Now you must go out again and look for it.
   /naʊ/ /ju/ /məst/ /ɡəʊ/ /aʊt/  /əˈɡen/ /ənd/ /lʊk/ /fɔːr//ɪt/.
   You must look in Chinatown.
   /ju/ /məst/ /lʊk/  /ɪn/ /ˈtʃaɪnətaʊn/
   You must look everywhere.
   /ju/ /məst/  /lʊk/ /ˈevriweə(r)/.
   You must find that umbrella.’
   /ju/ /məst/ /faɪnd/  /ðæt/  /ʌmˈbrelə/
   Kim went back to the library again.
   Kim /went/ /bæk/ /tuː/ /ðə/ /ˈlaɪbrəri/ /əˈɡen/.
   She did not know what to do.
   /ʃi/ /dɪd/ /nɒt/ /nəʊ/ /wɒt/ /tuː/ /duː/.
   She thought, ‘Perhaps the library teacher was right.
   /ʃi/ /θɔːt/, /pəˈhæps/ /ðə/ /ˈlaɪbrəri/ /ˈtiːtʃə(r)/ /wəz/ /raɪt/.
   Perhaps someone has brought back the umbrella.
   /pəˈhæps/ /ˈsʌmwʌn/ /həz/ /brɔːt/ /bæk/  /ðə/  /ʌmˈbrelə/
   Perhaps his grandmother has hit him for stealing it.’
   /pəˈhæps/  /hɪz/ /ˈɡrænmʌðə(r)/ /həz/ /hɪt/ /hɪm/ /fə(r)/ /stiːl/ /ɪt/
   But the umbrella was still not there.
