A Glass of Milk
Today is the first day of te new term. I got up early and checked my wintcr vacation homework before going to sclool.
While I was busy clearing up the books, Father came in with a glass of milk in his hand, "Drink it up, boy ."Father said to me gently.
I was in such a hurry that Ipaid no attention whether the milk was hot or not. I drank a mouthful and cried with the sound of the broken glass. "What's the matter.?" Father asked anxiously. "You didn't tell me the milk was so hot. I got a blister through being scalded." "Oh, it's my fault. Are you Ok?" Father turned to the kitchen after he was certain there was nothing serious with me, "There is some more in the kitchen. I'll bring it for you. Wait for me. I'II be back soon."
I was so angry with Father that I said"No. I won't be scalded again." Then I put all I wanted into my bag and wanted to go to school without breakfast. But I was astonished at what I saw when I turned around. Father was cooling the milk by pouring it from one glass to the other again and again. "Don't worry. It'll be Ok soon. It's bad for your health without breakfast. "Father said with a smile of apology. Tears came into my eyes. How rude I was just now! How reGREtful I was! I took the glass from my father's hand and drank it up without a stop.
What a good father I have!
—杯牛奶
今天是新学期的第一天。我起得很早，上学前整理我的寒假作业。
正当我忙于清理书的时候，爸爸端着一杯牛奶进来了。“喝了它，孩子。”爸爸柔声地说。我匆匆忙忙地也没注意牛奶是不是烫。我喝了一大口，伴着杯子破碎的声音，我发出一声尖叫，“怎么了?”爸爸焦急地问。“你没告诉我牛奶这么烫。我被烫了一个泡。”“哦，是我的错，你没事吧?”在确信我没事之后，爸爸转身去了厨房，嘴里说着：“厨房还有。我给你拿。等等，我马—上就来。”
我特别生爸爸的气，就说：“不用了。我不想再被烫伤。”然后我把所有的书放进书包，准备不吃早饭就去上学。但是当我转身时被我所看到的惊呆了。爸爸正在用两个杯子来回地翻倒着热牛奶。“别急，马上就好。不吃早餐对身体不好。”爸爸充
满歉意地说。眼泪湿润了我的眼眶。我刚才太无礼了! 我真后悔! 我从爸爸手里接过牛奶一口气喝光了。
我有一个多好的爸爸啊!
