满带着一身疲倦,一个男人下班很迟回家.当他回到家时却发现他5岁的儿子正在门口等他. “爸爸,我可以问你个问题吗?” 那男人回答:“当然可以啦,什么问题啊?” “爸爸,你一小时赚多少钱?” “要是你真的想知道,那我就告诉你:我一小时赚20$” “哦!” 那孩子回答时吹下头,突然又抬起头来问道: “爸爸,我可以向你要10$吗?” 他爸爸很生气地答道: “如果你要这么多钱的唯一理由是要买一个无聊的玩具的话,那么,你可以去睡觉了.” 那孩子平静地走回自己的房间,关上了门.过了大约一小时,那个男人冷静下来了,并开始思索.可能他的孩子确实需要那10$买点什么,而且,他也不常要钱.于是,那男人走到孩子的房门,并打开门问道: “你睡着了吗?” 那孩子回答道路: “还没有呢,爸爸.我一直在想,可能我刚才的要求太高了.” 男人说道: “这是你要的10$钱.” 那孩子一下子高兴地站了起来,大喊道说: “谢谢爸爸!” 然后,那孩子把手伸到枕头底下,拿出一些皱巴巴的纸币. 那男人一看到孩子已经有了钱,便又开始发脾气.那孩子慢慢地算了算钱,并抬起头来看着他爸爸. 他爸爸问道: “你为什么还要更多的钱呢?你不时已经有钱了吗?” 孩子答道: “因为我的钱不够呀,不过现在够了.” 那孩子接着说: “爸爸,我现在有20$了.我可以买你一小时的时间吗?你明天早点回家吧,我想和你一起吃晚餐.” |
