A Mother’s Love
母親的愛
A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his Mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:
For cutting the grass: $5.00
For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00
For going to the store for you: $ .50
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping : $.25
Taking out the garbage: $1.00
For getting a good report card: $5.00
For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00
Total owed: $14.75
Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he’d written on, and this is what she wrote:
For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me:
No Charge
For all the nights that I’ve sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you:
No charge
For all the trying times, and all the tears that you’ve caused through the years:
No charge
For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead:
No charge
For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose:
No charge
Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is:
No charge
When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes in and he looked straight at his mother and said, “Mom, I sure do you love you.” And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: “PAID IN FULL”.
一天晚上我們的小兒子來到廚房,他媽媽正在那兒做晚飯。他遞給媽媽一張已經(jīng)寫好字的紙。媽媽在圍裙上擦干手后,看到上面寫著:
割草 5美元
本周打掃自己的房間 1美元
當(dāng)你購(gòu)物時(shí)看小弟弟 50美分
倒垃圾 1美元
拿到優(yōu)異的成績(jī)單 5美元
清理庭院、耙草葉 2美元
總計(jì) 14.75美元
媽媽看著站在旁邊的兒子。兒子似乎能看到她正在回憶什么。然后,她拿起筆,把那張紙翻過來,她寫道:
在我肚子里懷你9個(gè)月,讓你慢慢長(zhǎng)大:
一分都不收。
為你熬的每個(gè)夜晚,照料呵護(hù)你:
一分都不收。
多年來由你引起的難熬時(shí)光以及為你流的淚:
一分都不收。
為了你而充滿恐懼和擔(dān)心的日日夜夜:
一分都不收。
給你提供玩具、事物、衣服,還有給你擦鼻子:
一分都不收。
當(dāng)你把所有這些全部都加起時(shí),我全部的真愛:
一分都不收。
當(dāng)兒子讀完他媽媽寫的這些,他的眼睛中閃爍著晶瑩的淚花,他抬頭看著他媽媽說:“媽媽,我真的愛你”。然后,他拿起筆寫了幾個(gè)大大的字:“全部?jī)敻丁薄?BR>
