我的媽媽
她也常常在睡前 說故事給我們聽
這是我很有印象的一篇故事《英文篇》
Once upon a time there was an old man. He was very old and his eyes could not see very well. His hands and legs were shaking all the time, so he couldn’t sit and walk very well, either. When the old man ate his food, his hands shook so much that he spilled his soup all the time. His grandson always cleaned up the floor for him.
But the old man’s son and his son’s wife were not happy at all. They didn’t want to eat with the old man, so they asked him to sit outside when he ate. This way he would not spill the soup on the floor in their house.
One day, the old man dropped his bowl and it broke into pieces on the ground. His grandson gave the old man his own bowl and cleaned up the pieces. However, the couple were very angry. “From now on,’’ they said to the old man with a smile, “you’ll use this wooden bowl. It will never break.”
The next day, the grandson took a piece of wood and began to carve it. His parents asked him what he was doing. He answered them with a smile,
“I’m carving the bowls for both of you. You’ll need them when you are as old as Grandpa.”
The man and his wife burst into tears with deep regret. They gave the old man a comfortable chair at the table and a good bowl. And they never complained again when he spilled his soup.
