(Daniel speaks to himself.)

Daniel: That's great! We made 20 minutes earlier.

Mom: Good thing, we took a taxi.

Daniel: Mom, you are the best!

Mom: Hey, look there. It is an advertisement of the piano training class on the billboard. The place is not far from our home.

Daniel: Mom, come on. What are you thinking about?

Mom: Your sister is in high school now; no one plays the piano at home.

Daniel: Don't tell me you want me to do that?

Mom: Why? Why not! The piano is right there.

Daniel: But I don't like playing the piano. And the homework keeps me busy enough.

Mom: Anyway, I will have a look at the piano class after work by myself.

Daniel: How depressed!

Top（丹尼爾自言自語。）

丹尼爾：太好了！我們早到了20分鐘。

媽媽：是啊，幸好我們搭了出租車。

丹尼爾：媽媽，你最棒了！

媽媽：喂，看那里。廣告牌上有個鋼琴培訓班的廣告。那個地方離我們家不遠。

丹尼爾：媽媽，求你了。你又在想什么呢？

媽媽：你姐姐現(xiàn)在讀高中了，家里的鋼琴沒人彈了。

丹尼爾：不要告訴我你想讓我彈。

媽媽：為什么不呢？鋼琴就擺在那里呢。

丹尼爾：但是我不喜歡彈鋼琴。并且家庭作業(yè)已經(jīng)夠我忙了。

媽媽：不管怎樣，下班后，我會自己先去看一下那個鋼琴培訓班。

丹尼爾：真郁悶。

TopDaniel: Mom always wants me to take different training classes. These days she says I should learn to play the piano. That's really a disaster for me. The homework already keeps me busy enough. My poor little spare time! I am just a little boy!
