蒂姆问：“嗨！莉莉，我们来爬树吧。”
莉莉说：“不，我不想。”
（男生在自家院子里喊话，女生骑在两家相邻的墙头上。从这幅画面，小读者可以猜猜，两人是朋友？同学？还是邻居？）
"Let's play in my den," said Tim.
But Lily said, "No, I don't want to."
蒂姆问：“我们到我的小窝里玩吧。”
莉莉说：“不，我不想。”
（男生被拒却并未放弃，用新的游戏询问女生。可惜依然被拒。）
"Do you want to ride my bike?" asked Tim.
"No," said Lily. "I don't want to."
蒂姆问：“那么，你想骑我的小自行车吗？”
莉莉说：“不，我不想。”
（原本倒在树下的自然车被推到墙边。然，被拒 2。）
"Do you want to go on my swing?" asked Tim.
"No," said Lily. "I don't want to."
蒂姆问：“那么，你想来玩荡秋千吗？”
莉莉说：“不，我不想。”
（小男孩自己在秋千上摆出很好玩的姿势，似乎依然想引起邻居的兴趣。不料被拒 3。）
Lily said, "I don't like your swing. I don't like your bike. I don't like your den or your tree. I don't want to play in your garden."
