母爱无价
荷叶/译
一天晚上,当妻子正在做饭,小儿子递给她一张纸条,上面写着:
洗车…………………………………………五美元 铺床一周…………………………一美元 购买饮食………………………………半美元
哄小妹妹…………………………二十五美分 倒垃圾……………………………一美元 学习成绩优异……………………五美元 扫公用走廊………………………二美元
总计…………………………………………十四美元七十五美分
看着他站在那等着拿报酬,我可以看出此时她母亲思绪万千,只见她拿起笔,把这张纸翻过来,写道:
我怀你九个月…………………………………免费 我夜夜扮你护你为你祈祷……………免费 我为你提供玩具衣食为你揩鼻涕……免费
总计:母爱的价格…………………………免费
读完,他眼里噙着大滴的泪花,注视着母亲,说:“妈妈,我爱你。”随后,他抓起笔,用大字在账单上书写:全部付清。 附:原文
One night when my wife was preparing dinner, our little son took a piece of paper to her which read:
For washing the car....................................................$5.00
For making my own bed this week..............................$1.00
Going to the provision shop........................................$0.50
Playing with little sister................................................$0.25
Taking out the rubbish................................................$1.00
Getting a good report card..........................................$5.00
And for sweeping the common corridor.......................$2.00
Total............................................................................$14.75
His mother looked at him standing there expecting payment. I could see a thousand memories flashed through her mind. Soshe picked up the pen and turning the paper over, this is what she wrote:
For 9 months I carried you, growing inside me.............................No Charge
For the nights I sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you.....No Charge
For the toys, food and clothes and wiping your nose...................No Charge
When you add it all up, the full cost of my love............................No Charge
Well, when he finished reading, he had great big tears in his eyes. He looked at his mother and said, "Mummy, I love you." Then he took the pen and in great big letters wrote on the "bill""All paid." |
