Question

    When Helen left home to do some shopping, her elder daughter, 12-year old Vanessa was watching a movie and her little daughter, 10 -month-old Alice, was asleep in the room. Helen told Vanessa to look after Alice and to watch the cake in the oven (烤箱).

Just after Helen left, Alice woke up and got out of her bed. Vanessa didn't hear her sister because the film was making a noise. She also forgot the cake. But she heard the ice-cream man. She ran out o the house without taking her key and locked herself out.

Through the window, she saw Alice in the room. At once, she remembered the cake and knew Alice was in danger. She ran to the nearest telephone box and called 999.
