John and Jane are both deskmates and good friends. On Sunday afternoon, they came to a secondhand bookstore.
　　约翰和珍妮既是同桌，也是好朋友。星期天下午，他俩来到一家旧书商店。
　　Suddenly, Jane said: “Look, John, what an old book! There was one same old book in my Mum’s bookcase.”
　　突然，珍妮说：“瞧，约翰，这本书好旧哦！我妈妈的书柜里也有这样一本旧书。”
　　John picked up the book and said: “Wow—Pinocchio’s Story, my Dad told me about it before.” John bought the book, then they read the book with great interest.
　　约翰拿起书，叫道：“哇——是匹诺曹的故事，爸爸给我讲过。”约翰买下这本书，两个人津津有味地看了起来。
　　When they read page 10, some words came to their eyes：
　　Good book，good book！
　　I have one,
　　and you have one.
　　Jack
　　看到第10页，他们发现一些字：
　　好看的书，好看的书！
　　我有一本，
　　你也有一本。
　　杰克
　　On page 30，some words appeared again：
　　Two good friends
　　stay together，
　　You help me，
　　and I help you.
　　 Ruth”.
　　在书的第30页，又出现了一些字：
　　两个好朋友，
　　天天在一起。
　　你帮助我，
　　我帮助你。
　　露丝
　　Like this, when they read twenty pages, there would be some words appeared. At the page of ninety, the story came to an end, and the signature became two full names: “Jack·Smith” and “Ruth·Clark”.
　　就这样，每翻过20页，就会出现几句话。到第90页，故事结束了，而签名变成了两个全名：“杰克·史密斯”和“露丝·克拉克”。
　　Jane and John pointed at the signature, they yelled at the same time.
　　“It is my Mum’s name！”
　　“It is my Dad’s name！”
　　“Isn’t it——”
　　珍妮和约翰指着书上的签名，分别叫了起来：
　　“这是我妈妈的名字！”
　　“这是我爸爸的名字！”
　　“难道——”
　　John and Jane looked at each other, both said,
　　“Did my Dad know your Mum in their childhood?”
　　“Did my Mum know your Dad in their childhood?”
　　约翰和珍妮你看着我，我看着你，一起说：
　　“我爸爸和你妈妈小时候认识？”
　　“我妈妈和你爸爸小时候认识？”
　　The finding was really excited to both John and Jane.
　　这个发现太让约翰和珍妮太激动了。
　　John and Jane decided to keep it secret from Dad Jack and Mum Ruth. Then found a chance to let them have an exciting get-together after thirty years.
　　约翰和珍妮决定先对杰克爸爸和露丝妈妈保密。然后找机会，让他们来一次无比惊喜的“三十年后重聚”！
　　As you guessed what’s going on next. When Dad Jack met Mum Ruth at the cafeteria, both felt very, very excited.
　　故事正如大家所猜到的。当杰克爸爸和露丝妈妈在咖啡店相遇时（那可是经过约翰和珍妮精心安排的），别提多激动了。
　　They stayed there for a long time and then Mum shouted loudly with a surprise, “oh, Jack, my nice deskmate!”, and Dad also said gladly, “Ha-ha, Ruth, you didn’t change a lot!”
　　他们呆了好久，接着妈妈惊喜地大叫一声：“哦，杰克，我的好同桌！”爸爸也开心地说：“呵呵，露丝，你可没怎么变呀！”
　　t turned out that John’s Dad and Jane’s Mum were deskmate in their childhood. On the first day of becoming deskmate, they went to the bookstore and bought the book of Pinocchio’s Story. But once moving home, Dad lost the book.
　　原来，约翰的爸爸和珍妮的妈妈小时候也是同桌呢！那本匹诺曹的故事，就是他们成为同桌的第一天，去书店买的。但是在一次搬家中，爸爸把书弄丢了。
　　A pair of “big deskmate” and a pair of “small deskmate” paid a visit to Jane’s home. Mum Ruth took the book of Pinocchio’s Story from her bookcase and handed it to Jane carefully, saying, “Now, it’s yours…”
　　一对“大同桌”和一对“小同桌”来到珍妮家作客。露丝妈妈从书柜里取出她那本匹诺曹的故事，小心地交给珍妮，说：“现在，它属于你了……”
