Mrs Parks tries to help
/ˈmɪsɪz/ /pɑːk/ /traɪ/ /tuː//help/
Mrs Parks put her arm around Kim and said, ‘Don’t worry, Kim.
/ˈmɪsɪz/ /pɑːk/ /pʊt/ /hə(r)/ /ɑːm/ /əˈraʊnd/ Kim /ənd/ /sed/ /dəʊnt/ /ˈwʌri/, Kim
This is what I shall do.
/ðɪs/ /ɪz/ /wɒt/ /aɪ/ /ʃəl/ /duː/
I’ll write a notice on a big piece of paper.
/aɪl/ /raɪt/ /ə/ /ˈnəʊtɪs/ /ɒn/ /ə/ /bɪɡ/ /piːs/ /əv/ /ˈpeɪpə(r)/
Then I’ll tie it to the umbrella box. I shall do it now.
/ðen/ aɪl/ /taɪ/ /ɪt/ /tuː//ðə/ /ʌmˈbrelə/ /bɒks/. /aɪ/ /ʃəl/ /duː//ɪt/ /naʊ/.
You can help me.’
/ju/ /kən/ /help/ /mi/.
They found a piece of strong paper and the library teacher wrote on it:
/ðeɪ/ /faʊnd/ /ə/ /piːs/ /əv/ /strɒŋ/ /ˈpeɪpə(r)/ /ənd/ /ðə/ /ˈlaɪbrəri/ /ˈtiːtʃə(r)/ /rəʊt/ /ɒn//ɪt/
‘Please bring back the big, black umbrella. It belongs to Mr Chu.’
/pliːz/ /brɪŋ/ /bæk/ /ðə/ /bɪɡ/, /blæk/ /ʌmˈbrelə/. /ɪt/ /bɪˈlɒŋ/ /tuː//ˈmɪstə(r)/ Chu.
The library teacher tied the notice onto the front of the box.
/ðə/ /ˈlaɪbrəri/ /ˈtiːtʃə(r)/ /taɪd/ /ðə/ /ˈnəʊtɪs/ /ˈɔːntu/ /ðə/ /frʌnt/ /əv/ /ðə/ /bɒks/.
All the children crowded round, as they wanted to see what was happening.
/ɔːl/ /ðə/ /ˈtʃɪldrən/ /ˈkraʊdɪd/ /raʊnd/, /əz/ /ðeɪ/ /ˈwɒntɪd/ /tuː//siː//wɒt/ /wəz/ /ˈhæpənɪŋ/.
Mrs Parks explained to the children.
/ˈmɪsɪz/ /pɑːk/ /ɪkˈspleɪn/ /tuː//ðə/ /ˈtʃɪldrən/.
‘An umbrella is lost,’ she said. ‘It belongs to Mr Chu.
/ən/ /ʌmˈbrelə/ /ɪz/ /lɒst/, /ʃi/ /sed/ /ɪt/ /bɪˈlɒŋ/ /tuː//ˈmɪstə(r)/ Chu
I hope someone will bring it back soon.’
/aɪ/ /həʊp/ /ˈsʌmwʌn/ /wɪl/ /brɪŋ/ /ɪt/ /bæk/ /suːn/.
‘O-o-oh! Mr Chu-u-u!’ the children repeated.
O-o-oh! /ˈmɪstə(r)/ Chu. /ðə/ /ˈtʃɪldrən/ /rɪˈpiːtɪd/.
One boy whistled. They knew Mr Chu.
/wʌn/ /bɔɪ/ ˈwɪsl/. /ðeɪ/ /njuː//ˈmɪstə(r)/ Chu.
They knew about his umbrella, and the piece of paper inside it.

Then, a little girl ran up the stairs.
/ðen/, /ə/ /ˈlɪtl/ /ɡɜːl/ /ræn/ /ʌp/
She pushed through the crowd of children.
/ʃi/ /pʊʃt/ θruː/ /ðə/ kraʊd/
It was Mae Lee, Kim’s best friend.
/ɪt/ /wəz/ Mae Lee, Kim’s /best/ /frend/
‘Kim! What’s the matter, Kim?’she asked. Kim tried to stop crying.
Kim! /wɒt/ /ðə/ /ˈmætə(r)/, Kim? /ʃi/ /ɑːsk/. Kim /traɪd/ /tuː/ /stɒp/ /
Then she told Mae the whole story.
/ðen/ /ʃi/ /təʊld/ Mae /ðə/ /
‘Oh. How terrible!’ said Mae Lee.
Oh. /haʊ/ /ˈterəbl/. /sed/ Mae Lee
She knew about the paper inside the handle because she was at the dinner party too. She saw Mr Chu receive his present.
/ʃi/ /njuː/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ðə/ /
She said, ‘I wish that I could help you to find it.
/ʃi/ /sed/, /aɪ/ /wɪʃ/ /ðæt/
But I am late and I must hurry.
/bət/ /aɪ/ /əm/ /leɪt/ /ənd/ /
If I don’t leave now, I shall miss my train.
/ɪf/ /aɪ/ /dəʊnt//liːv//naʊ/,/
Then I shall miss the ferry to Staten Island. I’m very, very late!’
/ðen/ /aɪ/ /ʃəl//mɪs//ðə//
She put her books onto the desk and did not choose any new ones.
/ʃi//pʊt/ /hə(r)//bʊk/ /ˈɒntə/
She did not have enough time.
/ʃi//dɪd//nɒt//həv//ɪˈnʌf//
‘I’ll see you on Monday,’she said to Kim.
/aɪl//siː//ju//ɒn//ˈmʌndeɪ/, /
‘I’ll look for your umbrella as I am going home.’
/aɪl//lʊk//fɔːr//jɔː(r)//
Kim stopped crying and she went home again.
Kim /stɒp/ /ˈkraɪɪŋ//ənd//ʃi//
When she reached her home, she went up the stairs slowly.
/wen/ /ʃi/ /riːtʃ//hə(r)//həʊm
She said to her Grandmother, ‘The umbrella was not there.
/ʃi//sed//tuː//hə(r)//
The library teacher put a notice on the umbrella box.
/ðə//ˈlaɪbrəri/ /ˈtiːtʃə(r)//
The children from the library are looking for the umbrella. So is Mae Lee.’
/ðə/ /ˈtʃɪldrən/ /frəm//ðə//ˈl
But Grandmother hit her again.
/bət//ˈɡrænmʌðə(r)//hɪt//hə(r)
‘A notice on a box is not what I want.
/ə//ˈnəʊtɪs//ɒn//ə//bɒks//ɪz//
You must bring back the umbrella. Go out again.
/ju//məst//brɪŋ//bæk//ðə//
Look more carefully,’ she shouted. ‘Look everywhere for your father’s umbrella.’
