D
Argyle(菱形花纹)-Left and Argyle-Right were the closest among all the socks. They looked for each other all the time, which was not easy. Jimmy, whose feet they clothed, was always dropping them. Often, Argyle-Left found himself under the bed, while Argyle-Right was in a trainer.
"Right! Where are you?" Argyle-Left cried.
"Left! In the trainer," Argyle-Right replied.
One day, after the laundry(洗好的衣物) was put away, and all the socks smelled good and felt pleased, Argyle-Left could not find Argyle-Right. He asked every sock in the drawer(抽屉) where Argyle-Right could be. But nobody knew where he was.
"You're alone now," they told him. "Argyle-Right has gone to the laundry(洗衣房), a dark place where socks disappear."
"And you'd better watch out," said Herringbone(人字形平行花纹)-Left. "Jimmy's mum always throws the lone(单个的) sock away. It almost happened to me. But I clung(紧抓) to Underwear, so Mum couldn't find me."
Argyle-Left's heart went bing-bang. He felt as if a big hole had opened in his weave. No! Argyle-Right could not be gone forever. Argyle-Left climbed out of the sock drawer and searched many places by himself: the living room, the kitchen, even Mum's bedroom. "Right, Right, where are you?"
Finally, he reached the laundry, where Washing Machine and Dryer lived.
"Right, are you here?"
"Left, I'm stuck." Argyle-Right's voice came from deep within Washer.
Argyle-Left climbed up Washer. Deep and dark! What to do? He thought for a while, then pulled up his thread to save Argyle-Right. It worked.
"Left, Left!" said Right.
"Right, Right!" said Left.
A nylon sock that looked just like Herringbone-Left—it was the lost Herringbone-Right.
So he was in the Very Most Ultimate Laundry, too!
"Take me to my Left, please," said Herringbone-Right. And they did just that.
