小学英语故事
My teen-age daughter was preparing to return home after having visited her grandparents for a few weeks one summer. Her grandfather gave her 12 post cards.
"Here, write us a few lines every month." he said.
Months passed and the cards remained unused-that is until the day this letter arrived:
"Dear Jennifer,
Life is a series of(一系列) stages.
As a child, I looked forward to becoming a teenager-that happened.
As a teen-ager, I looked forward to becoming a young man-that happened.
As a young man, I looked forward to meeting a young woman, in love and becoming a married man-that happened.
As a married man, I looked forward to becoming a father-that happened.
As a father, I looked forward to becoming a grandfather to beautiful, intelligent grandchildren-that happened.
Then I looked forward to the day they would learn to write-that hasn't happened yet.
Yours Sincerely"
12张卡片
一个夏天,我十多岁的女儿在她祖父母家过了几周。她准备回家时,祖父给了她12张卡片。“每月给我们来封短信。他说。
几个月过去了,可卡片一直放在那儿没用——直到有一天来了这样一封信:
“亲爱的詹妮芙:
生活是一系列阶段组成的。
还是个孩子的时候,我期待着成为一个青少年——我如愿以偿了。
还是个年轻人的时候,我期待着遇到一个年轻的女人,恋爱、结婚——我如愿以偿了。
结了婚,我便期待着成为一个父亲——我如愿以偿了。
作为父亲,我期待着成为一个祖父,有漂亮、聪明的孙儿孙女——我也如愿以偿了。
接着,我期待着有一天他们能给我写信——我却还没有如愿以偿。
