音乐? 剧务举着牌子绕场一周。 牌子上写： The Cop and The Anthem (警察与赞美诗)） Narrator1. The Cop and the Anthem is a story from O. Henry’s most famous collection, The Four Million. We all know that O. Henry’s stories are popular because they often have very surprising endings. Now, let’s enjoy our short play: The Cop and the Anthem. Narrator2.
