英文短篇故事（纽约）387 Colorful Folks on the Train

 　　"Mom, I saw the most interesting people on the subway car today," said the 12-year-old schoolgirl. "You'll never believe this, but I swear it's true. I saw a fisherman with three fish in his basket. I saw a man in a brown bear suit. He was holding the bear head in his lap. I saw a woman with a green plant as big as she was. I saw a man playing the accordion¹. I saw a balloon woman with nine balloon heads but no human head. I saw a rollerblader with his rollerblades on. I saw a little boy with a long brown tail like a rat! Can you believe I saw all those interesting people on one subway car?" Her mom said, "Of course I can, honey. I adore² that poster by Sophie Blackall. And guess what? If you look closely, you'll see that there are two of everyone!"
