Question

It was a beautiful spring morning, and the sun was warm but not too hot, so Mr Green was surprised when he saw an old gentleman at the bus stop with a big, strong, black umbrella (伞) in his hand.

Mr Green said to him, “Do you think we're going to have rain today!”

“No,” said the old gentleman, “I don't think so.”

“Then are you carrying the umbrella to keep the sun off you?” “No, the sun is not very hot in spring.”
