anny: i’m anny, your anny.

angel: anny？（充满疑惑）。（略为思索后，用母亲的声调）where are you?

anny（仿佛遇见母亲，忍不住哭起来）: mum,（哭声，欲语泪先流，又猛然惊觉）mum, mum, i’m not crying.

angel（安慰地，担心地）: you are a nice little girl.

anny: mum, why don’t you come to see me? dad says you will come back

if i am well behaved. mum, don’t you miss me?

angel（慈爱地）: of course, i do. i do miss you?

anny: really?

angel: yes. i miss you so much.

anny: mummy!

angel: en…

anny: mummy!

angel: yes?

anny（笑若银铃）

(angel 慈爱地笑，心略有所安)

anny(突然又哭了): but mummy, why don’t you come back? i’m ill.

angel（关切地）: anny, where are you? tell me, where are you?

anny: mummy, i’m in hospital now. i felt pain, but i didn’t cry. dad

says the one who cries is not a good girl. then you won’t come back.

mummy, can you come back to see me? i’m waiting for you with no

tears.

angel: anny, i’m, i’m not… oh, yes, mummy will come back to see

you（dad推门入，见anny在打电话，连忙夺过）

dad: i’ve told you not to call anybody else.

（对着电话）sorry, i’m really sorry. the child has disturbed you.

angel: never mind. i’m a mother, too. i understand her. may i know

the truth?

dad: eh…, her mum isn’t here. so she called and called.

angel: where’s anny’s mother? you divorced?

dad: no, no. i hope she would come back. but…

angel: you don’t trust in me? i’m angel, the chief broadcaster of

the hot line.

dad（回头看anny）: then, i’ll tell you the truth some other day.

angel:all right.
