儿童小故事：戴面谱的男人（三）
英语课
我的心忽然卜卜地跳起来，他真是我的爸爸吗？看见他翻找抽屉的匆忙样子，他是不是冒充爸爸的贼？ 我立即拿起电话，打算问问爸爸公司的同事，但却被一只手按住了。 我惊恐之余，急中生智，对「爸爸」说︰「爸爸，学校明天田径比赛，我想问问他们欢不欢迎家长参加。」 那只手放开了，点了点头，又去找他的抽屉。 打电话是不可能的，眼前的戴面谱的男人不是爸爸也可以肯定。 我忽然想到了电子报案的方法，我立刻坐到电脑前，把有贼进屋的消息告诉了警方。 刚报完警，假爸爸似乎也找遍了家里每一个地方。他想出门走了。 不得！我要留?他！我这样对他说︰「爸爸，你说把提款卡留给我，让我自己提钱去买波鞋的，但提款卡放在哪里呢？」
Then it struck me - was he really my dad? My heart began to beat very fast. I looked at the way he kept on searching, and asked myself: could he be a burglar 1 pretending 2 to be Daddy? I picked up the phone, wanting to call Daddy’s office, but a hand came down and stopped me. I reacted 3 in that split 4 second, and said, "Daddy, there’s an athletic 5 meet tomorrow at school. I want to ask them if parents are invited." He let go his hand, nodded, and went to the drawers again. Now I knew it would be impossible to make phone calls without his knowing. What I was even more certain was that this man behind the mask was not my dad. Then a thought flashed through my mind - I know, I can report to the police online! So I sat in front of the computer and sent a message to the police, reporting that a stranger had come into my house. Just when I had finished, this man who pretended 6 to be my dad had finished searching the house and was set to leave. I had to think of a way to stop him from leaving! So I said, "Daddy, you said you would leave me your ATM card so I can get money for my sports shoes. But where did you put it?"
