　　Long long ago, there lived a man in a small town. He always forgot things. One day, he said to his little son,“your mother has gone to see your grandparents. Have you been to their village before?”“No, I have never been there,”answered his little son.“Now let's go there. But you mustn't go here and there.”“Good!”answered the son.
