walking is good exercise. i am in the habit of taking a walk after. supper each day. every day right after supper i walk around the school campus, i especially like the children's corner, where dozens of two or three year olds are playing, laughing and chasing each other. they are like colorful flowers dotting the green lawn.

　　one afternoon as i was walking in front of the library, beside the lawn, the mother of a two-year-old boy named chen ran nodded friendly and greeted me by saying "walking?" i answered with a smile, "yes." the child immediately immitated, "walking" and repeated it several times. to each of his utterance i answered with a laughing "yes."the next day i was walking at the same place as i did the day before. again i met chen ran, the two-year-old boy. he was alone and greeted me, by saying "walking" i said "yes." laughing to my amusement, i think the boy is really learning to speak quiekly. so whenever i was walking and when he saw me he would my, "walking."

　　one day i met chen ran. he was having difficulty getting his mini-bike out of the roadside. he said to me, "walking, you do it." it was not until this moment that i realized he took it for granted that my name was "walking". amused, i helped him get his bike. and he called me aunt walking till he was old enongh to know his mistake.
