每日晨讀丨要謙虛

Two little children come to a new city. Their names are Peter and Tom.

兩個小孩來到了一座新城市。他們的名字叫做皮特和湯姆。

Of course they live with their parents. Their family is very rich. They have a driver and a lot of servants.

當然，他們和父母住在一起。他們的家庭非常富裕，他們有一個司機和很多仆人。

Peter and Tom are going to a new school. On the first day their parents say to them, “Peter and Tom, be modest at your new school. Don’t say we are rich.”

皮特和湯姆將要去一個新學校。第一天上學，他們的父母對他們說，“皮特和湯姆，在你們的新學校要謙虛。不要說我們很富有。”

And they say, “Yes, Dad, Mum.”

他們回答道：“好的，爸爸媽媽。”

So they go to school. They see their new teacher. And they sit down with the other children.

接著他們就去上學了。他們見到了新老師，然后和其他小朋友們坐在了一起。

The teacher says, “Hello, children. The first exercise today is a composition. The subject of the composition is ‘My Family,’”

老師說：“孩子們，你們好。今天的第一個練習是寫一篇作文，作文的題目叫做‘我的家庭’。”

So all the children write a composition. This is Peter’s composition,

然后所有的孩子都寫了一篇作文。這是皮特的作文：

“My name is Peter. My family is very poor. Both my father and mother are very poor. Our driver is very poor and all the servants are poor.”

“我叫皮特。我的家非常窮。我的爸爸媽媽很窮，我們的司機很窮，我家所有的仆人也很窮。”
