The Browns are the Smiths' neighbours. Mr Brown's name is John. But when his neithbours talk about him, they call him "Mr Going-to-do". Do you why? Mr Brown always says he is going go do something, but he never does it.
Every Saturday Mr Brown goes to the Smiths' back door and talks to Mr Smith. He always says he is going to do something.
"I'm going to clean my house today, "he says, or"I'm going to wash my car tomorrow," or "These trees in front of my house are too big. I'm going to cut them down next weeek." But Mr Smith knows his neighbours isn't going to do those things.
Mr Smith often says to his only child Dick, "Are you going to do something? Then do it. Don't be another 'Mr Going-to-do.'"
布朗一家是史密斯的邻居。布朗先生的名字叫约翰。但当他的朋友谈论他时，他们称他为“要去做先生”。你为什么这么问？布朗先生总是说他要去做一些事情，但他从来没有做过。
每周六，布朗先生都会到史密斯家的后门去和史密斯先生谈话。他总是说他要做些什么。
“我今天要打扫我的房子，”他说，或者“我明天要洗车”，或者“我家门前的树太大了，我下个星期要把他们都砍下来。”但是史密斯先生知道他的邻居不会做那些事。
史密斯先生经常对他唯一的孩子迪克说：“你打算做些什么吗？那就马上去做吧。别再当‘要去做先生’了。”
