中考英语阅读理解练习：一把伞

Yesterday evening, when I went to town with my mother,
we met a strange old man. It was raining hard and we had no
umbrella(伞). We were trying to get into a taxi when he came up
to us. He was carrying a nice umbrella and he said that he would
give it to us for only a pound. He had forgotten his wallet, he
said, needed taxi-fare(出租汽车费) to go back home. My
mother didn’t believe what he had said at first, and asked him a
lot of questions. But the old man didn’t get into a taxi. We
followed(跟随) him and found he went into a pub(小酒店) and
bought himself a glass of whiskey (威士忌) with the pound.
After he drank it, he put on his hat and took up one of the many
wet umbrellas there and went off with the new one. Soon after
that, he sold it again.
