 A Mother’s Love


母亲的爱
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 1, 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 2 the yard: $2.00
Total owed 3: $14.75
Well, his mother looked at him standing 4 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 5, 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”.
一天晚上我们的小儿子来到厨房,他妈妈正在那儿做晚饭。他递给妈妈一张已经写好字的纸。妈妈在围裙上擦干手后,看到上面写着:
割草                                       5美元
本周打扫自己的房间               1美元
当你购物时看小弟弟               50美分
倒垃圾                                    1美元
拿到优异的成绩单                 5美元
清理庭院、耙草叶                 2美元
总计                                     14.75美元
妈妈看着站在旁边的儿子。儿子似乎能看到她正在回忆什么。然后,她拿起笔,把那张纸翻过来,她写道:
在我肚子里怀你9个月,让你慢慢长大:
一分都不收。
为你熬的每个夜晚,照料呵护你:
一分都不收。
多年来由你引起的难熬时光以及为你流的泪:
一分都不收。
为了你而充满恐惧和担心的日日夜夜:
一分都不收。
给你提供玩具、事物、衣服,还有给你擦鼻子:
一分都不收。
当你把所有这些全部都加起时,我全部的真爱:
一分都不收。
当儿子读完他妈妈写的这些,他的眼睛中闪烁着晶莹的泪花,他抬头看着他妈妈说:“妈妈,我真的爱你”。然后,他拿起笔写了几个大大的字:“全部偿付”。
