每天读一篇英语小故事：A Clean Toilet Bowl

英语自学网

　　Mildred’s sister called. She was going to drop by. And whenever she
visited, she usually made at least one trip to the bathroom. That meant one
thing—Mildred needed to clean her toilet bowl.
        　　This was the household chore that she hated the most. It was so icky! She
grabbed the cleanser from beneath the bathroom sink. She sprinkled lots of it
into the toilet bowl. Then she got out of her clothes, put on a big T-shirt, and
pulled on her long-sleeved rubber gloves. Finally, she put on her goggles,
because she didn’t want any toilet water to splash into her eyes. She didn’t
know if toilet water could cause an eye infection, but she wasn’t going to take
any chances.
        　　She grabbed the long-handled toilet bowl brush that was beneath the sink.
She started scrubbing. She scrubbed under the rim, all around the bowl, and deep
into the throat of the bowl. Five minutes later, she figured she was
finished.
        　　She flushed the toilet and checked the bowl. It was clean as a whistle.
Mildred breathed a sigh of relief, because usually she had to scrub the bowl
twice to remove all the stains.
        　　She removed her goggles, gloves, and T-shirt. Then she hopped into the
shower.
