【伊索寓言】（英文）小偷和他的母亲

   The young thief and his mother A young man was caught stealing, and sentenced to death three days later. He wanted to speak with his mother before the execution. Of course this was granted.  When his mother came to him, he said, "I want to tell you something." He said something but she could not hear. He whispered again, and when she came close to him, she put her ear to his mouth. He nearly bit off her ear. All the bystanders were horrified. "It is to punish her," he said. "When I was young I began stealing little things, and brought them home to mother. "Instead of punishing me, she laughed and said, ‘It will not be noticed.‘ It is because of her that I am here today."  小偷和他的母亲 一个小偷被抓住了，被判处死刑，三天后执行。 他想在行刑前与他的母亲话别，这个请求得到了允许。 当他妈妈来到他的面前，他说：“告诉你一件事。”他轻轻说了一遍，但是她听不清楚；等她走近些，小偷又轻声说了一遍。母亲将耳朵贴近时，儿子突然咬住母亲的耳朵，差点撕下来，周围的人都惊呆了。 “这是对她的惩罚，”小偷说，“我小时候小偷小摸，把偷的东西带回家时，她不但不惩罚我，反而笑着说‘别让人看见。’就是因为她我才落个今天这样的下场。”  短语 Sentence to death 被判处死刑 Bite off 咬下 感悟 从小偷和他母亲的故事，我们也得到了启发，虽然不是所有的小偷都像文中的小偷那样咬下母亲的耳朵。从一个母亲的角度，要学会正确教导孩子，就像种树一样，树苗从小端正，就不会长歪。 从儿子的角度来看，人并不是死板的，如果我们拥有了辨别是非的能力，那么我们就要学会自己改正错误。 喜欢就点个赞哟～
