"I'll go and visit my cousin Alcolu," said Amelia Bedelia. "Use our car," said Mr. Rogers. "Oh, I have not driven in years," said Amelia Bedelia. "Is your license still good?" asked Mrs. Rogers. "It's great!" said Amelia Bedelia. "See how nice my picture looks."

“我要去看望我的堂兄阿尔科鲁。”阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚说。 “开我们的车去吧。”罗杰斯先生说。 “哎呀，我都好多年没开过车啦。”阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚说。 “你的驾照还在有效期吗？”罗杰斯太太问。 “当然有效啦！”阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚说。 “你看我上面的照片拍得多好看呀。
