Episode 12: Full of Surprises ACT I-英语听力

[00:00.23]Full of Surprises [00:04.56]ACT I [00:14.67]The mailman just dropped some mail in our box, Grandpa. [00:17.61]Probably a lot of advertising and bills. [00:21.28]Why don't you write to me, Robbie, [00:22.84]so I can get some interesting mail? [00:46.17]You were right, Grandpa. [00:48.15]Advertising, bills, bills, advertising. [00:53.82]Yes. It's just like I said, Robbie. [00:56.68]Nothing interesting. [00:58.26]You won't believe it, Grandpa, [01:00.45]but there's a letter here addressed to you, [01:02.65]Mr. Malcolm Stewart, and it looks like a personal letter. [01:05.36]Oh, it must be a bill. [01:06.90]I don't think so. [01:08.34]The return name and address is [01:10.01]Pete Waters, RFD Number 1, Chesterton. [01:13.56]You're joking. Pete Waters? [01:17.31]Pete Waters, RFD Number 1, Chesterton. [01:20.92]You know him? [01:22.08]Do I know Pete Waters? [01:24.74]You bet I do! [01:26.63]He was my roommate in college. [01:33.89]He visited with Grandma and me in Florida [01:36.04]about five years ago. [01:44.68]What does he say? [01:45.93]Is he OK? [01:47.97]Yeah, he's fine. [01:52.49]Just fine. [01:53.11]He's writing to invite me [01:53.91]to spend a weekend with him at his farm. [01:57.31]He's planning a get-together [01:58.66]with two or three other college friends. [02:01.57]A kind of a fifty-year anniversary reunion. [02:06.41]Sounds like fun. [02:08.55]Fifty years? Wow! [02:10.78]It sounds like fun to me, too, Robbie. [02:13.70]What kind of farm does he have? [02:15.91]I've never been there, Robbie, [02:18.03]but he has chickens and cows and all. [02:22.23]That means fresh eggs and fresh milk. [02:25.15]Does he have a family? [02:27.22]No, he doesn't, Robbie. [02:29.17]He never married. [02:30.89]He's not as lucky as I am [02:32.92]to have a family and grandchildren. [02:37.05]I'm a lucky man. [02:38.91]How come he never got married? [02:41.39]That's a good question, Robbie. [02:43.46]A very good question. [02:45.83]He never married because [02:47.94]the girl he was in love with in college married someone else. [02:51.39]As simple as that. [02:53.27]He never got over it. [02:55.32]He must have loved her very much. [02:57.23]Yes. Very much. [03:00.45]Lillian Winters. [03:02.25]She was in our class. [03:03.91]And what happened? [03:05.46]She was in love with Donald McGrath, [03:07.95]the quarterback on our football team. [03:10.43]Football players are always popular with the ladies. [03:14.28]She liked Pete, and they went to dances together. [03:18.24]But her heart was with Donald. [03:20.82]Did he ever get over it? [03:23.17]No, he never did. [03:23.56]Where is she today? [03:26.73]I don't know. [03:29.07]Maybe Lillian will be at the reunion. [03:31.46]You think so? [03:32.92]Pete's full of surprises. [03:34.85]I wish I could go there with you, Grandpa. [03:37.26]What do you think the surprise will be? [03:40.44]With Pete, you never know, Robbie. [03:43.33]Won't it be exciting to see all your college friends there again? [03:47.39]It is already. [03:49.89]I'm kind of excited about going now. [03:54.79]Next weekend ... [03:56.55]sleep over Friday and Saturday night [03:59.69]and come back Sunday. [04:02.53]I can't wait! [04:06.37]Don't you think you ought to call Pete [04:07.89]and tell him you're coming? [04:09.38]You're reading my mind, Robbie.
