張玲

There was a nice little girl. She was 10 years old. Her name was April.

One day， April asked her parents why she was called April. Her mother answered that she was called April because she was born in April. The little girl was very happy to hear that. She liked her name.

April really liked the month April too. This was because she had her birthday in that month. Her parents made her a party. All her friends came and celebrated with her， and she received a lot of presents.

One day， her mother became pregnant （懷孕的） and soon April had a little brother. Her brother was born in February. Everyone came to visit the family. Everyone suggested names for the new baby.

April did not understand what the problem was. This looked very simple to her. She said that if the baby was born in February， the correct name was February！
