So Mother and I were very surprised to hear what he said. But Father was serious, and he said he was going to do some shopping first. He didn＇t know what to buy. So Mother wrote all the things on a piece of paper
1.cake 2.egg 3.tomato 4.fish
5.milk 6.salt 7.chicken
Then Father went out. Half an hour later he came back, with a smile on his face. He brought out all the things: one cake ,two eggs,three tomatoes, four fish, five bottles of milk, six bags of salt and seven fat chickens!
Mother was geatly surprised. She couldn＇t say a word.
