“Tommy, can you help me? I don’t understand this.”
“Sure Taibo.”
“Ok - ‘Little Jenny sat rapt in the living room.’ She sat in the living room and she was rapping?”
“No - rapt means her attention was focused on something.”
“Ok - ‘Her attention was drawn when someone rapped on the front door.’ So… her attention was on the front door?”
“No - someone knocked.”
“Uh huh… ‘Mother answered the door, allowing Father to walk in with a large package wrapped in bright paper.’ So Father knocked on the package?”
“No - the package had bright wrapping paper on it.”
“I hate English.”
