It is Monday. I'm waiting for a repairman at home.

"Hello. My name is Larry," he says. "Are you Mr. E?"

"Yes, I am. Can you fix my TV?" I ask.
“是的，我就是。你能修理我的电视机吗？”我问道。
"Yes! Where is the TV?" He asks.

"Please come in. The TV is in the living room." I say.

He looks at the TV. He looks at things on the TV.

Then he asks me for some water.

"Your TV is no good. And your DVD player isn't working, either," he says.

"Really?!" I ask.

He carries the TV and DVD player outside.

I pay him, and he leaves.

But something is wrong. How can the TV and DVD player be garbage?

That night, I wait outside.
