上期講到羅杰挨家挨戶地察看別人家的小孩是否需要幫忙準備開飯，現(xiàn)在他已經(jīng)來到三樓了，很快就要到頂樓了，那么羅杰體驗的最終結(jié)果會是怎樣呢？

This family doesn’t even have a table... Roots and snails—YUK! Roger hurries away.

“Come in, come in,” says the family in the top fl at.

“Do I have to set the table?” asks Roger.“Certainly not, you’re a guest. Come in and have some noodles.”

“Well...” says Roger. He is getting hungry.

Everyone in the top flat is busy getting the supper table ready.

Roger sits by himself and watches. If I weren’t a “guest”,I could help too, he thinks.

“What’s a guest?” he asks someone.“Well... guests don’t really live here.” “Oh,” says Roger. “Now where I live...”

Just then a special smell creeps all the way upstairs to the top fl at.

“Where I live,” shouts Roger, “there’s something good for supper

—and it’s my turn to help!”

“I took your turn for you,” says Uncle Tim.“I’ll take your turn tomorrow,” says Roger.

Apple pie for dessert—whoopee!Roger’s favourite.
