A
“I’m bored,” Spencer said and looked at the rain out of the window.
“Read a book,” said his mom.
“I read all the time at school. I planned to ride bikes with Elton today.”
“Well, this rain won’t stop until (直到……为止) Monday, so you’ll have to find some other ways to spend the weekend,” Mom said with a smile. “You could clean your room.”
“Anything was better than cleaning my room,” thought Spencer. He walked to the garage (车库) and rode his bike in there for a few minutes, but it was not fun at all. For Spencer, the best thing about riding a bike was going to different places and seeing things.
“Hey,” said Elton from the door to the garage.
“Why did you come here?” asked Spencer.
“Your mom called me. She said you were bored. My mom was happy to drive me over because I kept saying I was bored, too.”
“It’s not much fun riding here,” said Spencer.
Elton looked around the garage and said, “Let’s do something new.” He put a set of cones (圆锥形物) all around the garage. “OK, yo u have to ride through them and you can’t knock any over (撞倒). Oh, and I’ll time you on my watch.”
“All right,” Spencer agreed. It seemed not too boring. He tried and it was harder than he thought it would be. He knocked over two cones.
They kept riding and tried to see who could do it faster. They always knocked over some cones, but that just made them laugh.
