参考译文

罗莎喜欢编故事，她编得如此言之凿凿以至于她的同学偶尔会相信她。实际上，整个班级都相信了她。一开始她觉得很有趣。而现在，当她站在全班同学面前讲话时，她意识到，这种编造的故事到头来反而让自己难过。

罗莎的父母离婚了。一年中有9个月的时间，罗莎是和母亲一起生活在安德森大街的一套公寓里。然而，当夏天来临时，她就去亚利桑那州父亲的农场那里。

农场很大！罗莎骑着马，帮着干些农活。不过她的父亲很忙，没有时间跟她一起去各地转转。每年夏天当她来到父亲的农场时，父亲都会去机场接她，然后带她外出吃饭。而她返城的那天，他通常也会给她买件礼物。

夏天将要结束的时候，罗莎回到母亲那里。在学校，她听朋友们谈起了许多家庭旅行的故事。罗莎真希望自己也有一个完整的家可以向大家说说。

开学后不久，罗莎在学校的图书馆看了一些旅游杂志。里面讲了许多令人兴奋的地方，比如英国和德国。当她的朋友问她这个暑假干什么时，她就编了一些故事。回忆着她看过的旅游杂志，她对同学说自己和父亲去过英国！

当全班同学开始学习关于英国的课程时，托马斯先生请罗莎谈谈她能记起的所有关于英国旅行的故事。
