英语故事:穷与富

12

【英文原文】

摘要:有一天,一个富爸爸带着小儿子到乡下旅行,想让他看看世界上的贫穷是什么样子。他们在一个非常贫穷的家庭的农场呆了一天一夜。

One day, a rich father took his little son on a trip to the country. He wanted to show him the poverty in the world. They spent a day and a night at the farm of a very poor family.

When they got back from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”

“Very good, Dad!”

“Did you see how the lives of the poor can be?” the father asked.

“Yeah!”

“And what did you learn?”

After thinking for a moment, the son answered, “I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden, and they have a creek that has no end. We have electric lights in the garden, and they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard, and they have a whole horizon.”

When the little boy finished, his father was speechless. His son added, “Thanks, Dad, for showing how poor we are!”
