A Good Boy
Little Robert asked his mother for two cents。 “What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday？” “I gave it to a poor old woman，” he answered。 “You‘re a good boy，” said the mother proudly。 “Here are two cents more。 But why are you so interested in the old woman？” “She is the one who sells the candy。”
[中文译文]
