The phone woke Kim up. She was expecting her mother to call but it wasn't her. The voice on the other end of the line sounded familiar but Kim couldn't remember who it belonged to. “Hello,” the lady said. “Can I speak to Mrs. Len?” “I'm sorry but she's not at home. She's out. She is walking in the park.” It was very cold to walk out-of-doors and everything was covered in snow but Kim's mother walked in all weathers. She believed that it helped her keep fit and gave her extra energy. She actually looked younger than other women of her age and that was probably because of her walking. “Can I take a message?” Kim asked politely. “No. I will call her later. When is she going to be back?” “She normally comes home at five.” “Fine,” came the answer and the phone went dead. Kim felt a bit hurt. “It's not polite to break off a conversation like that,” she thought to herself. If I were older, I would explain to that lady how to talk to people politely.

Телефон разбудил Ким. Она ждала звонка от своей матери, но звонила не она. Голос на другом конце провода показался знакомым, но Ким не могла вспомнить, кому он принадлежал. «Алло», — сказала женщина. «Можно поговорить с миссис Лен?» «Извините, но её нет дома. Она вышла. Она гуляет в парке». На улице было очень холодно, и всё было покрыто снегом, но мама Ким гуляла в любую погоду. Она считала, что это помогает ей поддерживать форму и придаёт ей сил. Она и правда выглядела моложе других женщин своего возраста, и, вероятно, это было благодаря прогулкам. «Передать сообщение?» — вежливо спросила Ким. «Нет. Я позвоню ей позже. Когда она вернётся?» «Обычно она приходит домой в пять». «Хорошо», — ответила женщина, и телефон замолчал. Ким немного обиделась. «Невежливо вот так обрывать разговор», — подумала она. Если бы я была старше, я бы объяснила этой женщине, как нужно вежливо разговаривать с людьми.
