The following morning Mother doesn't feel well. She stays in bed all day. In the evening she tells Peter to run to the village and ask the doctor to come.
"She has a bad cold," Doctor Forrest says. "She must stay in bed.
Can you be her nurse?"
"Yes, of course," says Bobbie.
"Well, make a nice big fire in her room to keep warm," the doctor says. "Here's some medicine for her. And this is a list (清单) of food you must buy for her." He gives Bobbie a piece of paper.
Later Bobbie shows the list to Peter and Phyllis.
"But how can we buy all these things?" she says. "We don't have any money. What can we do?"
For a long time they sit and think. Then they have an idea.
The next day there is only one child waiting for the 9:15 train to come out of the tunnel (隧道). It's Peter. He isn't sitting on the fence (栅栏) that morning.
▲ Behind him there is a large white sheet(床单). There are some words on it. They say, "Look out at the station."
As the train passes, an old gentleman on the train sees it. So do the other passengers (乘客). They look out for something at the station, but they see nothing. Then the old gentleman sees Phyllis. She's running along the platform (站台). When she gets to his window, she pushes a letter into his hand.
The old gentleman sits down and opens the letter. He reads:
Dear Mr,
We do not know your name, ...
