春天,一个阳光明媚的上午，一个有钱的城市男孩正在乡村走着。他来到一个农场，要了一碗牛奶，付了钱。他坐在树阴下，把面包掰成块，放到奶里。 佛瑞德是附近村庄的一个穷孩子。他营养不良，脸色苍白。他看到树下的男孩，本想跟他要点碗里的牛奶喝，但是他很懂规矩就没开口。 这个有钱的孩子注意到了这个男孩，想把碗里的东西给他留点儿，但是没有这样做。喝完奶后，他注意到碗底写着东西，读完后脸刷地一下红了。他立即又要了一碗奶和一大块面包。奶和面包送过来后，他叫佛瑞德过来，把面包掰开，让男孩吃。 写在碗底的那句话是"忘记穷人者不配吃饭。”有钱的男孩自言自语说："这句话应该刻在有钱人的每一个盘子上。” The Milk A wealthy young city boy, was walking one sunny spring morning in the countryside. He came to a farm，asked for a bowl of milk and paid for it. He sat in the shade of a tree, broke his bread into pieces and dropped them into the milk. Freddy, a poor boy from the nearby village, who was very pale because he was always undernourished，looked at the boy under the tree and would have desired to share that bowl of milk with him, but he was too well-mannered to ask. The wealthy boy had noticed the boy and thought about leaving something in his bowl for him but did not do so. When he had finished drinking his milk he noticed some writing on the bottom of his bowl and he began to blush. He immediately asked for another bowl of milk and a large piece of bread. When they were brought to him he called Freddy, broke the bread and told the boy to eat. The phrase that he had seen at the bottom of the bowl read：“Those who forget the poor do not deserve their own food. " The wealthy boy said to himself： uThis is a phrase that should be inscribed on every dish that the rich own! ” |
