Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up. 3.? We could use a sponge(海綿)or a towel. Which I do you prefer?" He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled(濺出的) milk.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to carry a big milk bottle with two small hands. 4. and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it." In the end, the little boy learned how to carry the bottle without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!

B.What really have you done

C.He tried to move a bottle of milk from the refrigerator
