【英语原版童书】Just me and my Mom（1）

 We went to the city,just me and my mom. 

Mom gave me some money to buy tickets for the train.

I wanted to help Mom get on the train but the steps were too 

high. So Mom helped me instead.

But when the conductor¹ came by, the tickets were gone.

So  Mom paid the conductor some more money.

The city was very busy.I held Mom's hand so she wouldn't be scared.

We went to the Museum of Natural History.They had rooms full of old dinosaur² bones.

I picked up a little dinosaur egg to show to my mom.

But someone ran up and grabbed³ it.

I wasn't going to hurt it.

I tried on some costumes,just for Mom.

But the museum guard didn't like that.

Then we went next door to the Aquarium⁴.

There were lots of fish in a big tank of water.
