一个星期六的中午，天气太热了，我急匆匆地脱下衣服，无意中发现自己的衣服掉了二颗纽扣。我想：“妈妈白天干活很辛苦，晚上又要看店，不如我自己动手。”我决定自己缝纽扣。
One Saturday noon, it was too hot. I took off my clothes in a hurry and found that my clothes had two buttons missing. I thought: "my mother works very hard in the daytime and wants to see the shop in the evening. I'd better do it myself." I decided to sew the buttons myself.
于是我找来了纽扣、线和针，开始穿线，针眼小，线软，我穿了好一会儿才把线穿了进去。可是，我没在线尾打结，“丁”的一声，针掉在了地上。这可把我急坏了，我扒在地上东找找，西找找，可怎么也找不到。一旁的妈妈见了笑着说：“针掉到了地上，快去拿块吸铁石吸吸看。”我找来了吸铁石，一试，果然找到了针。 下一步该缝纽扣了，我左手拿着衣服和纽扣，右手拿着针线，可是针好像在跟我作对，老是扎在我的手指上。纽扣还没缝好，手指却被戳出了血。
我只好去请教妈妈。妈妈一边示范给我看，一边对我说：“缝纽扣时，左手按住纽扣和衣服时，不能把纽扣的洞眼按住，以免针戳到手指上，右手拿针从反面穿过去，来回几次，最后在反面打个结。”
I had to consult my mother. My mother showed me and said to me: "when sewing buttons, when pressing buttons and clothes with her left hand, you can't press the holes of buttons to prevent the needle from sticking to your fingers. Take a needle with her right hand and go through it from the opposite side, go back and forth several times, and finally tie a knot on the opposite side."
我吸取了开始缝时的教训，按妈妈教的方法，小心翼翼地把针穿过去，上一针，下一针，最后打了个结，一颗纽扣终于缝好了。 我看着两颗新缝的纽扣，一颗是妈妈缝的，一颗是我缝的，开心地笑了。
