 A young mother believed1 that it was2 very wrong to waste4 any food when there were so many hungry people in the world. One evening, she was giving her small daughterher tea before putting her to bed. First she gave5 her a slice6 of fresh7 brown bread and butter, but the child said8 that she did9 not want it like that. She asked for some jam on her bread as3 well. 

　　Her mother looked at her for a few10 seconds and then said, When I was a small girl like you, Lucy, I was always given11 either12 bread and butter, or bread and jam, but never bread with butter and jam. 
　　Lucy looked at her mother for a few moments with pity13 in her eyes and then said to her kindly14, Aren't you pleased15 that you've come to live with us now? 
　　一位年轻的母亲认为，世界上还有许多受饥饿的人，浪费食物真不应该。有天晚上，在安排幼小的女儿睡觉之前，她给女儿喂夜宵。她先给她一片新鲜的黑面包和黄油，但孩子说她不喜欢这样吃。她还要一些果酱涂在面包上。 
　　母亲看了女儿几秒钟，随即说道，露茜，当我象你一样小的时候，总是吃面包加黄油，或者面包加果酱，从来没有面包既加黄油又加果酱。 
　　露茜看了母亲一会儿，眼中露出怜悯的神情，然后她柔声说：您现在能跟我们生活在一起难道不感到高兴吗？
