Mary and her husband Dimitri lived in the tiny village of Perachora in southern Greece. One of Mary's prize possessions was a little white lamb which her husband had given her. She kept it tied to a tree in a field during the day and went to fetch it every evening. One evening, however, the lamb was missing. The rope had been cut, so it was obvious that the lamb had been stolen. When Dimitri came in from the fields, his wife told him what had happened. Dimitri at once set out to find the thief.
He knew it would not prove difficult in such a small village.

比较容易的一篇短文，读起来很轻松。今天学了点儿William老师的英语词汇营的内容，原来“地铁”有各种不同的表达，英国“the tube(informal）”，“underground(formal）”;美国“subway”。commute通勤；the rush hour 交通高峰。
