While Jim is trying on a new shirt, Bob goes away. He isthirstyand runs to buy three bottles of cola. While Bob is looking for a pair of shoes, Mum can't find Tom. He sees his classmate Jack, so he goes to talk with him. While Tom is choosing a schoolbag. Jim and Bob are out of sight(在视野之外). They drink too much cola and go to the bathroom(厕所).
It's seven when they get home. Mum is really tired. She gets a pen and writes one rule(规定)on the list of "Family Rules"一Shop with one boy each time.
