A story between a father and his son A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, To find his 5-year-old son Waiting for him at the door “Daddy, may I ask you a question?” Dad: Yeah sure ,what is it? Son: Daddy ,how much do you make an hour? Dad: If you must know ,I make $20 an hour. Son: Oh, daddy ,may i please borrow $10? The father was furious, “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior.” The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. 小男孩静静地走进自己的房间，关上了门 The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. 这个人坐下后，更加为这个男孩的问题生气了。这孩子怎么敢问这样的问题，就为了借些钱呢？ The man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. 大约过了一个小时，他才平静下来了，开始想：也许他真的需要这10美元买什么东西呢，他并不是经常要钱花。 The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door Dad: Are you asleep ,son? Son: No, daddy, I am awake. Dad: I have been thinking ,maybe I was too hard on you earlier ,It has been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here is the $10 you askd for. . “Oh, thank you daddy!” He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again .The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father. 小 Dad: why do you want more money if you already have some? 既然你已经有钱了，为什么还要更多钱 Son: because I did not have enough, but now I do. 因为我的钱不够，不过现在够了 Daddy, I have $20 now. Can i buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow .I would like to have Dinner with you. From the story, I learned: Cherish what you have and show your Love
