                      【看被子】

 

 

 
                       文天玉之

 

 

一个七八岁的小女孩儿

拿着小木板凳 坐到太阳底下

院子里需要晒被子的阿姨请她 看被子

因为 她被认定是医院宿舍孩子里最“乖”的女孩儿

怎能辜负阿姨的如此信赖？

 

 

眼前挂着一床浅红色的被子 带着碎花儿

左边是一堵石头院墙 头上有蓝天 白云 和太阳

没有小儿书 手机 游戏机 或小伙伴儿

来哄一两个小时的耐心与孤独，可是

小姑娘有自己编故事的想象 逗自己玩儿。。。

 

 

后来 她就是凭着乖，靠谱，耐心，和想象力

当上了大队长 市三好学生 大学女排队长

再后来 拿到了博士学位 登上了美国教授的讲台

她还得了这个奖，那个奖，尤其是 声誉很高的

文学城美语世界坛 《童年幻想》活动奖

 

 

让孩子们“看被子”吧，虎妈们 ～～～

                         【Look After a Quilt】

 

 

                               By Tian Yu Zhi

 

 

A seven or eight years old girl took a small woodenstool and sat under the Sun

An auntie from her mom’s hospital asked her to look after the quilt 

While it was aired out in the Sun, 

Since she was  considered the most "well-behaved" girl among all kids.

How could she disappoint this kind of trust?

 

 

In front of her hanging a light red quilt with small flowers 

On the left was the courtyard stone wall, above were blue sky, white clouds, and the Sun

No books, mobile video games, or children 

To cajole one or two hours of patience and solitude, however,

She used imagination to make up stories to entertain herself. . .

 

 

Later on, she relied on her being good and reliable, patience, and imagination

Won the city’s merit student award, became the captain of university women’s volleyball team.

After that, she acquired a doctoral degree, and stood on the university professor's podium.

She also won this award, that award, and especially the prestigious

Wenxue City “Beautiful Language World” Forum’s "Childhood Fantasy" Award

 

 

Let the children look after a quilt, Tiger Moms  ~~~
