Every morning, Bjorn took the early train to work. He sat by the window and read a book.

A woman sat across from him every day. She wore a red coat. She read a book too.

One morning, Bjorn looked at her book. It was the same book as his. It had the same green cover.

On Monday, her bookmark fell on the floor. It slid under his seat. Bjorn picked it up. It was a small paper star.
星期一,她的书签掉到了地上。它滑到了他的座位下面。比约恩把它捡了起来。那是一颗小小的纸星星。
"This is yours," he said.

"Yes. I am near the end," Bjorn said.

"Me too. Do you like the ending?" she asked.
“我也是。你喜欢结局吗?”她问。
"I do," he said. "But I want a different one."

"Tell me yours," she said. Bjorn told her his idea. She listened and nodded. Then she told him hers.
“说说你的想法吧。”她说。比约恩讲了自己的想法。她一边听一边点头。然后她讲了她的。
They talked until the train stopped at his station. Bjorn got up and said goodbye.
