But the Teacher Cried
The six-year-old John was terribly spoiled .His father knew it, but his grandma doted on him. He hardly left her side. And when he wanted anything, he either cried or threw a temper tantrum. Then came his first day of school, his first day away from his grandmother's loving arms.
When he came home from school his grandma met him at the door.
"Was school all right?" she asked, "Did you get along all right? Did you cry?"
"Cry?" John asked. "No, I didn't cry, but the teacher did!"
【中文译文】
但是老师哭了
六岁的小约翰娇生惯养。他爸爸知道这一点,可是他的奶奶很溺爱他。他简直离不开奶奶。而且当他想要什么东西的时候,他要么哭闹,要么就发脾气。终于,他要第一次去学校上学了,第一次离开奶奶温暖的臂弯。
当他从学校回到家时,奶奶就在门口等他。
“在学校一切都好吗?”奶奶问,“你过的怎么样?哭了吗?”
“哭?“约翰问。”不,我没有哭。不过老师哭了。“
