Lesson 17 Always Young
Why doesn't Aunt Jennifer tell anyone how old she is?
My aunt Jennifer is an actress.
She must be at least thirty-five years old.
In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl.
Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon.
This time, she will be a girl of seventeen.
In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings.
Last year in another play,
she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress.
If anyone ever asks her how old she is,
she always answers, 'Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up!'
