The Flyer That Kept Moving

Rosalie printed ten flyers for her school's bake sale. She pinned one to the community board outside the library. It was Monday morning.

罗莎莉为学校的烘焙义卖打印了十张传单。她把其中一张钉在图书馆外面的社区公告板上。那是星期一早上。

On Tuesday, she walked past the board again. Her flyer was not where she left it. It sat in a different corner, near a lost-cat notice.

星期二，她又从公告板前走过。她的传单不在她放的地方了。它跑到了另一个角落，在一张寻猫启事旁边。

"That's strange," Rosalie said to herself. She moved it back to the middle of the board.

“真奇怪，”罗莎莉自言自语。她把它移回了公告板的中间。

On Wednesday, the flyer was in a new spot again. This time it was near the bottom, by a music notice. Rosalie began to wonder if someone played a joke on her.

星期三，传单又换了一个新位置。这一次它在靠下的地方，挨着一张音乐通知。罗莎莉开始怀疑是不是有人在跟她开玩笑。

On Thursday, she decided to watch the board after school. She sat on a bench nearby with her backpack and a book.

星期四，她决定放学后看着这块公告板。她背着书包，带着一本书，坐在附近的长椅上。

At four o'clock, an older man walked up to the board. He wore a library name tag. He carried a small stack of papers. He picked up Rosalie's flyer and looked at it closely.

四点钟，一位年长的男士走到公告板前。他戴着图书馆的名牌。他拿着一小叠纸。他拿起罗莎莉的传单，仔细地看了看。

Rosalie walked over quickly. "Excuse me, why do you keep moving my flyer?"

罗莎莉快步走过去。“打扰一下，你为什么总是挪我的传单？”

The man smiled and pointed at the board. "I'm Harvey, from the library. I sort the board by type every afternoon. Food events go on the left side."

男士笑着指了指公告板。“我是图书馆的哈维。我每天下午都按类型整理这块板。美食活动放在左边。”

"Oh! I didn't know there was a system," Rosalie said.

“哦！我不知道还有这个规矩，”罗莎莉说。

"Most people don't," Harvey said. "It helps people find things quickly."

“大多数人都不知道，”哈维说，“这样能帮大家很快找到东西。”

Rosalie looked at the board with new eyes. Food notices sat together on the left. Lost pets and lessons had their own sections too.

罗莎莉用全新的眼光看着公告板。美食通知都集中在左边。走失的宠物和课程也各有各的区域。

"That actually makes sense," Rosalie said. She pinned a second flyer exactly where Harvey showed her.

“这样确实有道理，”罗莎莉说。她又拿出第二张传单，钉在哈维指给她的位置上。
