Who is in the shop to take care of it 那谁在店里管事啊？

The owner of a grocery was on his deathbed. The entire family had gathered in his bed room weeping and wailing¹.

 

At last the old man looked at them with a worried expression, seeming as if the wanted to speak. His wife and children all pressed forward to hear what he would say.

 

"Is mama here?" he asked in a very feeble² voice.

 

"Yes," answered his wife.

 

"Is the whole family here?" he said.

 

"Yes," replied his elder son.

 

This made him so anxious that he suddenly struggled to shout, "Then who is in the shop to take care of it?"

 

一家杂货店的老板快要死了，全家人都聚在他的睡房里哀伤的恸哭。

 

最后，老板神情忧虑地看着他们，好像有话要说。他的妻子和儿女都拥到前边去听他说什么。

 

他声音非常虚弱地问道：“妈妈在这里吗？”

 

“在”，他的妻子回答说。

 

他说：“全家都在这里吗？”

 

“是的，”他的大儿子回答说。

 

这时他焦虑不安地忽然挣扎着大叫道：“那谁在店里管事呀？”
