Tom was a helpful boy. Every Sunday morning, he walked to the newspaper kiosk (报刊亭) at the supermarket to buy a newspaper for his dad. He liked to leave the house early as it was more peaceful then, with fewer cars in the streets.

One Sunday morning, when Tom arrived at the supermarket, he saw his neighbour, old Mrs. Jackson. She was choosing apples at the fruit shop. Tom greeted her and then went to get his newspaper.

As he was leaving, Tom saw Mrs. Jackson walking in front of him. Her bag looked very heavy.

“Would you like me to carry that for you, Mrs. Jackson?” Tom asked.

“What a helpful boy you are, Tom! Thank you. It is heavy,” she replied.

Tom picked up the heavy bag and began walking slowly home with Mrs. Jackson. The bag seemed to grow heavier with each step. Then, just as they were about to cross the road, it fell off Tom’s hand and dropped on the hard road!

“Oh, no!” cried Tom. “The fruit will be squashed (压扁).”

Mrs. Jackson looked into the bag. “Yes, the fruit does look a bit squashed. But don’t worry, Tom. I like fruit juice. I’ll just make juice instead. Call at my house this afternoon. We’ll have some delicious cold fruit juice together!” she said with a wide smile.
