每日晨读丨要谦虚

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

两个小孩来到了一座新城市。他们的名字叫做皮特和汤姆。

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

当然，他们和父母住在一起。他们的家庭非常富裕，他们有一个司机和很多仆人。

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.”

皮特和汤姆将要去一个新学校。第一天上学，他们的父母对他们说，“皮特和汤姆，在你们的新学校要谦虚。不要说我们很富有。”

And they say, “Yes, Dad, Mum.”

他们回答道：“好的，爸爸妈妈。”

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

接着他们就去上学了。他们见到了新老师，然后和其他小朋友们坐在了一起。

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

老师说：“孩子们，你们好。今天的第一个练习是写一篇作文，作文的题目叫做‘我的家庭’。”

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

然后所有的孩子都写了一篇作文。这是皮特的作文：

“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。我的家非常穷。我的爸爸妈妈很穷，我们的司机很穷，我家所有的仆人也很穷。”
