五、猴妈妈准备低价出售家里的小汽车，小猴子们为了顺利地卖出汽车做了不少努力。阅读短文，选择正确的答案。

“Let’s sell this car,” says Mama Monkey. She makes a big sign. It says, “CAR FOR SALE—CHEAP!” Then she goes into the house. “I should do some work.”
“OK, we have work too,” say the five little monkeys. “The old car is so dirty. How can we sell such a dirty car? What can we do?”
“I know!” says one little monkey. “We can wash the car and make it clean.” So two little monkeys spray（喷） water and the other three clean the car.
“But the car is still rusty（生锈的）. No one will buy it. What can we do?”
“I know!” says one little monkey. “We can paint it.” Then, four little monkeys find paint in the house. They paint the car—blue, yellow, green, purple, pink and bright red.
The five little monkeys sit down and wait, but no one comes by. It is getting late!
“The car looks great. It smells so good too. Maybe no one can see it here. What should we do?”
“I know,” says one little monkey.
