41、hen he said: “I have something for you,Dad.” “You do?”I asked,slightly annoyed by the delay.He opened his hands and showed me the best a five year-old boy could imagine. “I found it myself.”In his small hands were a marble ,an old racecar,a broken elastic,and various other items I have since forgott

42、en. “Here,Dad,these are for you.” He was bursting with pride.44 “I dont have time right now,my boy.I am going to the mall to get a few things for mum.Cant you put them in the garage for me?” His smile faded,and at the very instant I put the car back in gear,I felt my bad conscience nagging me.When I

43、 came back home,I asked my son: “Where are those toys you had for me?” “I thought you didnt want them,so I gave them to Adam.”His playmate Adam lives on our street,and I could easily imagine that the little guy had received the treasures with much more enthusiasm than I had showed my son.My sons act

44、ion hurt me,but I deserved itnot just because it showed me how thoughtlessly I had treated him,but also it made me remember another little boy.45 It was the boys big sisters birthday,and he had been given some money so he could buy her a present.He browsed through the toyshop for a long timethe pres

45、ent had to be something special.Finally,he found it:A chewing gum machine filled with brightly coloured bubble gum.He was very anxious to show it to her as soon as he came home,but he firmly withstood the temptation. Later,when all the big sisters friends had arrived,she began opening the presents.S

46、he cried with joy for every present she openedand with every cry the boy became more and more shy.The eight year-old girls had spent much more money on the presents than he could afford.Suddenly his present seemed small and insignificant.But he still waited anxiously to see her joy when she opened h

47、is present. At last she opened his present,and he saw how disappointed she was,indeed embarrassed.In order not to lose face among her friends she could not thank him too exuberantly for the present.46 She gave her friends a know-all smile. “Thanks,”she said to him in a condescending tone of voice. “

48、Its just what I wanted.”The rest of the girls desperately tried not to giggle. The boy was hurt and confused.His otherwise beautiful present now looked like the cheap plastic thing it actually was.He went out in the garden and started to cry. Soon after his mother showed up and,in a soft voice,asked

49、 him what was wrong.He explained it to her as best he could. She listened,and then went inside the house.Shortly after the big sister came out to him.He could see by the look on her face that she had been told to do it,but her sincere regret showed him that she had not hurt him on purpose.She actual

50、ly liked the chewing gum machine.He said that he could understand that,and he actually could.She was only trying to be nice to him. Now the story repeated itself.Instead of my big sister and me,it was my son who had to decide for himself whether or not it really was the thought that counts.And my re

51、action would have a great influence on his decision.47 I gave my children some money at Christmas so they could buy gifts themselves.It was very difficult for them to keep quiet with what they had bought for me,especially for my son.Every single day he asked me if I could guess what he had bought fo

52、r me. On Christmas Evening he demanded that I opened his present first.I unwrapped it and lookedit was indeed the most wonderful gift I had ever been given.But I did not look at it with my 33 year-old experienced eyes,either.Instead I looked at it as an anxious child of five would look at it. The gi

53、ft was a small green plastic dinosaur.My son quickly showed me why this dinosaur was something special:The claws on the forelegs formed a clip so I could fasten it on my clothes.His eyes sparkled with expectancy and loveof the kind you only see in a childs look. I knew how difficult it must have bee

54、n for him to find a gift which showed his feelings for me in the best possible way.So I thanked him in his own language.I fastened the dino on my jacket and talked about how “cool” it was,and,yes,he was absolutely rightI loved it.48 So the next time you see a grown man with a primitive paper tie or

55、a “cool” tattoo of a caterpillar,do not shrug your shoulders out of pity for him. If you tell him that he looks foolish,he may answer: “That may be,but I have a five year-old son who thinks I am the worlds greatest Dad,and I would rather wear his present than own all the riches in the world.” And th

56、ats why I walk around with a green dino on my jacket.49译文 丹谢弗 当儿子出来向我的车跑过来时，我正要从车道出去。他的脸闪耀着幸福的光芒，说：“我有东西给你，爸爸。” “是吗？”我带有一丝被耽搁的懊恼问道。他张开双手，给我看一个五岁小孩想象范围内的最好的东西。“我自己发现的。”在他的小手中是弹球，旧赛车，坏掉的橡皮筋和各种各样的我已经不记得的东西。“爸爸，这些都是送给你的。”他满心自豪。 “儿子，我现在没有时间。我要去商场给妈妈买些东西。你就不能把它们给我放到车库吗？” 他的微笑渐渐消失了，就在我把汽车重新启动的那一瞬间，我的良心很不安。

57、当我回到家，我问他：“你送我的那些玩具在哪儿呢？” “我觉得你不想要他们，所以我把它们给亚当了。”他的玩伴亚当和我们住一条街，不难想象，他给我儿子的回应比我给的要热情得多。儿子的行为伤害了我，但是我罪有应得不仅是因为我不顾及他的感受，而且也因为他让我想起了另外一个小男孩。 那天是那个男孩的大姐姐的生日，他得到一些钱，这样他就可以给她买礼物了。他在玩具店看了好长时间礼物必须是特别的。终于，他找到了：有鲜艳的泡泡糖的口香糖机。他一到家就很急切地想给她看，但是他坚决地抵制住了这个诱惑。 一会儿，姐姐的所有朋友都来了后，她开始打开礼物。每打开一个礼物他都开心地大叫每次叫声都令这个男孩越来越害羞。这些八

58、岁的女孩们在礼物上花的钱比他的要多得多。突然他的礼物看上去是那么渺小和无关紧要。但是他还是急切地想看看她打开礼物时的那种喜悦。 终于她打开了他的礼物，他看到她是多么的失望，的确挺让人尴尬的。为了不在朋友面前丢脸，她不能为他的礼物说太多的溢美之词。 她给了朋友一个就知道会这样的微笑。“谢谢。”她以安慰的口吻对他说，“这正是我想要的。”其他女孩都使劲忍住不笑出声来。 男孩被伤到了，他很迷惑。当时那漂亮的礼物现在看上去就像一个廉价的塑料玩意儿。他走到外面的花园哭了起来。 很快她的母亲出现了，温柔地问他怎么了。他解释说他已经尽他最大的努力买最好的了。 母亲听着，然后走进房间。很快姐姐出来找他。他从神情中可以看出来有人让她这样做的，但是她真诚的悔恨表明她不是故意伤害他的。事实上，她很喜欢那个口香糖机。他说他可以理解，他真的可以理解。她只是试着对他好。 现在同样的故事上演。这次不是我跟姐姐，而是我的儿子。他得自己做出决定，看想法是不是真正重要的。而我的反应对他的决定会产生很大的影响。 圣诞节的时候，我给了孩子们一些钱，让他们给自己买礼物。对他们来说，很难对给我买礼物这件事保持沉默，尤其是对我的儿子来说。每一天他都让我猜猜他给我买了什么。 在圣诞节的晚上，我的儿子要求我第一个打开他的礼物。我拆开礼物一看这真是我收到的最棒的礼物。当然，我不是以一个有
