One morning the postman came down Elm Road来到榆树路. In his bag were two letters . They looked like this: “Miss P Jones 10 Elm Road Bilton” ; “Miss F Jones 79 Elm Road Bilton”
There were two Miss Jones in Elm Road. Pippa Jones lived at number 10. She was mad about 特别喜欢ponies小矮马. Flo Jones lived at number 79. She was mad about football. But that morning the postman had broken his glasses and he couldn’t see very well. That’s how the mix-up began差错就这样发生了.
Pony-mad 爱马迷Pippa was out at the stable 马厩when her letter came. Pippa had a pony called Blossom花朵 who was a champion jumper特别会跳. She gave Blossom some oats 燕麦and a kiss on the nose亲鼻子. Then her dad stuck his head out of 探出头来the back door. “Pippa, there is a letter for you .”

Pippa and Flo couldn’t wait for Saturday to come恨不得周六马上就到. They didn’t notice that they had got the wrong letter. They were both going to the wrong place. On Saturday morning Pippa rode Blossom to Redland Park. Down the road they passed Flo on her way to Chestnut Field. Pippa stared at瞪着眼睛看 Flo in her red and white football kit. “Fancy dressing up like that乖乖，竟然穿成那样 to play a stupid game of football去踢一场傻乎乎的足球赛,” she thought to herself心想. Flo stared at Pippa in her black riding hat马术帽 and boots靴子. “Fancy dressing up like that to ride a boring old pony,” she thought to herself.
Pippa arrived at Redland Park. But where were the other ponies? All she could see was the Redland Rovers team kicking 踢a ball. “Excuse me,” said Pippa. “where are the fences to jump障碍栏?”
The Rovers team laughed. “this is a football match. Ponies can’t play.” said one. Rovers’ captain went over to走向前 Pippa. “have you seen Flo Jones? She hasn’t come yet and we’re one player short少一名队员.” ‘ i don’t know anyone called Flo,’ said Pippa. ‘my name is Pippa Jones.’ ‘well, you’ll have to play then, ’ said the captain. ‘Hurry up and get changed去换衣服, kick-off is in five minutes.’ 五分钟后开球
Pippa was horrified害怕极了. She didn’t want to play football. She wanted to ride Blossom in the Junior Cup. She tried to explain but the Rovers team didn’t listen. They pushed her into the changing room更衣室. They gave her football boots 足球鞋and a shirt. The shirt came to her knees到她的膝盖那么长. And the boots pinched her feet夹脚. When Pippa ran she kept tripping over her laces老是被鞋带绊倒. They lined up for排好队 kick-off and the referee 裁判blew his whistle 吹哨to start the game.开赛
The ball came whizzing towards朝...飞来 Pippa. ‘What shall i do with it?’ she wailed哭丧地喊. ‘Just kick it that way,就朝那边踢’ shouted Rovers’ captain. Pippa kicked the ball. ‘Youch哎呀, my toe脚趾.’ she yelled大叫.
The ball went to one of the Blue team. Pippa tried to get it back. But she tripped over her laces and fell in a muddy puddle小泥潭. ‘This is all a mistake.这根本是个错误’ moaned Pippa. ‘I’m in the wrong place.’ Flo was in the wrong place too. She was in Chestnut Field. But where was the Cup Final? All she could see were girls trotting小跑 round on ponies. ‘What is all this?’ Flo asked a man in a brown hat. ‘It’s the Junior Show. I am Mr Trotter, one of the judges. What is your name?’
‘Flo Jones. I am here to play football.’ Mr Trotter wasn’t listening. He was busy looking at a list of names名单. ‘Ah yes. Here you are. Miss Jones. You are jumping twenty-third.’ ‘Jumping? Me?’ Flo turned pale脸色变得煞白. ‘But i can’t ... I haven’t even got a pony.’ Mr Trotter laughted. ‘Dear me! You’ve come without your pony? Then we’ll have to find one for you.
Five minutes later Flo was sitting on a big, black pony. It snorted打着喷嚏 and stamped its feet踏着蹄子. ‘his name’s Thunder. You have to show him who is boss.’ said Mr Trotter. Flo looked at Thunder. She was pretty sure很肯定 he was boss. ‘i don’t know how to ride,’ she said. ‘there’s been a mistake...’
‘You’ll be fine. Good luck.’ said Mr Trotter and slapped 拍打Thunder on the back. Thunder galloped off飞奔而去 with Flo holding on tight紧紧地抓着. The fences looked very high. Flo wanted to jump off but Thunder wouldn’t stop. The loudspeaker boomed喇叭里发出低沉的声音: ‘And the next rider is Miss Pippa Jones on Thunder.’ The crowd clapped鼓掌. ‘But my name isn’t Pippa!’ cried Flo. ‘Somebody get me down.’
It was too late. Thunder was heading for正朝...奔去 the first fence. Flo shut her eyes. She was sure they were going to hit it. Just in time Thunder jumped. They landed with a bump and Flo’s hat slipped down over her eyes. Now she couldn’t see where she was going.
Thunder sailed over the next jump. And the next. But Flo was slipping out of the saddle. She was almost upside down, hanging onto Thunder’s neck. ‘what an odd way to ride,’ said Mr Trotter. Thunder took the next three fences at a gallop. They came to the last one, a high brick wall. Thunder took off. ‘he-lp.’ cried Flo, flying in the air.
They landed with a thud. Then Flo fell off onto the grass. Everyone crowed around her. They picked her up and patted her on the back. ‘are you all right?’ ‘Well done.’ ‘Jolly good riding.’ ‘What happened?’ asked Flo, getting up.
‘You won. You jumped all the fences in the fastest time,’ said Mr Trotter. He pinned a rosette on Thunder and gave Flo a silver cup. ‘This year’s winner of the Junior Cup is Miss Pippa Jones,’ she said. ‘My real name is Flo,’ smiled Flo happily.
Back at the Cup Final, things weren’t going well for Pippa. Her legs hurt. She was wet and muddy and the boots were killing her. There were two minutes left. The score was 2-2, but Pippa didn’t care. She just wanted the game to end so that she could go home.
The Blues’ goalkeeper kicked the ball out. It bounced straight to Pippa. She wasn’t pleased to see it . ‘Go away!’ she shouted crossly and gave the ball a mighty kick. To her surprise the ball soared through the air towards the Blues’ goal. The goalkeeper dived- but the ball hit the back of the net. ‘goal!’ shouted the Rovers. ‘what a goal!’
At that moment the final whistle blew. Pippa was Girl of the Match. Her team carried her off the pitch, cheering. Everyone wanted to pat her on the back. Pippa had won the Junior Cup for Rovers. After the game Pippa set off home with Blossom. On her way up Elm Road she passed Flo. Pippa and Flo both stopped. They both stared. Both of them were covered in mud and holding silver cups. ‘is your name... Pippa Jones?’ asked Flo. Pippa nodded. ‘Then you must be Flo Jones.’ then they understoo. So that’s what had happened.
‘I must have got your letter,’ said Flo. ‘i went to a pony show.’ ‘and i must have got your letter,’ said Pippa. ‘ i went to a football match.’
They both started to laugh. ‘Football is fun,’ grinned Pippa, ‘ when you get used to it.’ ‘And riding a pony is really quite exciting,’ said Flo.
After that, Pippa and Flo became the best of friends. Not only did they share the same name, they also liked the same things. Now, on one Saturday Flo goes riding with Pippa. And, on the next Saturday, Pippa plays football with Flo. The postman still brings letters to both their houses. But these days he’s got a new pair of glasses.
