On Saturday morning, John got up early to go to a sports club. On his way, he saw three of his schoolmates at the mall, Rie, Asuka and Yuki. They were always together because they were very good friends. “I'm shopping for new shoes,” Rie told John. “But I have big feet so nothing fits! We have been shopping everywhere but I can't find any big shoes!”

“And we walk very slowly,” Yuki said, “because of Asuka ...”

“I know,” John said, looking at Asuka. “I heard you hurt your knee in P.E. class yesterday. Does it hurt?” “It's OK if I move very slowly,” Asuka told him. “We are going to eat ice-cream at Dairy Queen. Do you want to come?”

“Sorry, I can't. I am going to meet Edward at the sports club. See you later!” said John.

John was walking past a coffee shop when he saw Ms. Kanda. She was looking at a new sidewalk (人行道). As John came closer he could see that Ms. Kanda was angry. “Somebody jumped in the middle of the sidewalk when the cement (水泥) was still wet!” she said, pointing to two small footprints (脚印) in the new cement. “Now I can't go home because I have to fix the sidewalk!” “Who did it?” asked John.

“A first-year student over there said that three girls were walking by here just now. But he doesn't know which girl jumped in the cement!”

Three girls? “Small” footprints? Somebody “jumped”? “I know who did!” said John. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
