When I was in primary school, my family lived at an apartment block with 6 storeys. You should know that during that time, not every household was able to afford air conditioners. So whenever summer came, our house was always as hot as an oven!

还(hái)好(hǎo)妈(mā)妈(mā)灵(líng)机(jī)一(yí)动(dòng)， 想(xiǎng)出(chū)了(le)一(yí)个(gè)解(jiě)暑(shǔ)的(de)好(hǎo)点(diǎn)子(zi) ：她(tā)用(yòng)大(dà)盆(pén)打(dǎ)了(le)满(mǎn)满(mǎn)一(yì)盆(pén)凉(liáng)水(shuǐ) ，然(rán)后(hòu)泼(pō)到(dào)了(le)客(kè)厅(tīng)的(de)大(dà)理(lǐ)石(shí)地(dì)面(miàn)上(shàng) 。哇(wā) ，我(wǒ)们(men)的(de)客(kè)厅(tīng)变(biàn)成(chéng)了(le)一(yí)个(gè)迷(mí)你(nǐ) 游(yóu)泳(yǒng)池(chí) ！

My mom came up with a great idea to help us cool down by filling a basin with water and spilling the water onto the marble surface of our dining room. Suddenly, we had a mini swimming pool!

我(wǒ)和(hé)弟(dì)弟(di)呢(ne) ？二(èr)话(huà)不(bù)说(shuō) 地(dì)滚(gǔn)到(dào)地(dì)上(shàng) ，像(xiàng)两(liǎng)只(zhī)青(qīng)蛙(wā)一(yí)样(yàng)肚(dǔ)子(zi)着(zháo)地(dì) ，用(yòng)脚(jiǎo)一(yī)蹬(dēng)身(shēn)后(hòu)的(de)墙(qiáng)面(miàn) ，身(shēn)体(tǐ)就(jiù)飞(fēi)快(kuài)地(dì)向(xiàng)前(qián)滑(huá)去(qù) 。就(jiù)这(zhè)样(yàng) ，我(wǒ)们(men)可(kě)以(yǐ)又(yòu)疯(fēng)又(yòu)闹(nào)地(dì)玩(wán)上(shàng)一(yí)个(gè)下(xià)午(wǔ) ！现(xiàn)在(zài)想(xiǎng)想(xiǎng) ，妈(mā)妈(mā)可(kě)是(shì)在(zài)家(jiā)里(lǐ)帮(bāng)我(wǒ)们(men)打(dǎ)造(zào)了(le)一(yí)个(gè)水(shuǐ)上(shàng)乐(lè)园(yuán)呀(ya) ！

My younger brother and I immediately flopped onto our bellies, used our legs to push ourselves from the wall behind and slid fast forward like two frogs. This fun game kept us occupied the whole afternoon. Thinking back now, mom had actually created our very own home-made water park!

童(tóng)年(nián)的(de)回(huí)忆(yì)总(zǒng)是(shì)最(zuì)珍(zhēn)贵(guì)的(de) 。小(xiǎo)朋(péng)友(yǒu) ，你(nǐ)要(yào)不(bú)要(yào)也(yě)和(hé)我(wǒ)们(men)分(fēn)享(xiǎng)你(nǐ)最(zuì)难(nán)忘(wàng)的(de)经(jīng)历(lì)呢(ne) ？
