當我拿起爸爸的鋼筆或鉛筆，像他那樣在他的書上寫著：a、b、c、d、e、f、g、h、i……您為什麼對我生氣呢，媽媽？
在爸爸寫時，您從未說過一句。
當爸爸耗費了那麼一大堆紙時，媽媽，您好像一點兒都不在乎。
然而，如果我隻拿出一張紙做一隻船，您卻說：“孩子，你真煩！”
爸爸把黑黑的點子塗滿了紙的兩麵，浪費了許多紙，您是怎樣想的呢？
The Wicked Postman
Why do you sit there on the floor so quiet and silent？ tell me， mother dear！
The rain is coming in through the open window， making you all wet， and you don’t mind it.
Do you hear the gong striking four？ It is time for my brother to come home from school.
What has happened to you that you look so strange？
Haven’t you got a letter from father today？
I saw the postman bringing letters in his bag for almost everybody in the town.
Only， father’s letters he keeps to read himself. I am sure the postman is a wicked man.
壞郵差
您為什麼坐在地板上一聲不吭？告訴我啊，親愛的媽媽！
雨從敞開的窗口飛濺進來，把您淋透了，您卻不在乎。
您聽到鍾已經敲了四下嗎？正是哥哥放學回家的時候。
究竟發生了什麼事，您看起來如此奇怪？
您今天沒有收到爸爸的信嗎？
我看見郵差的袋子裏裝了好多信，幾乎鎮上的每個人都收到信了。
隻有爸爸的信，他留給自己看。我想這個郵差是個壞人。
But don’t be unhappy about that， mother dear.
Tomorrow is market day in the next village. You ask your maid to buy some pens and papers.
I myself will write all father’s letters； you will not find a single mistake.
I shall write from A right up to K.
But， mother， why do you smile？
You don’t believe that I can write as nicely as father does！
But I shall rule my paper carefully， and write all the letters beautifully big.
When I finish my writing， do you think I shall be so foolish as father and drop it into the horrid postman’s bag？
I shall bring it to you myself without waiting， and letter by letter help you to read my writing.
I know the postman does not like to give you the really nice letters.
但是不要因此悶悶不樂，親愛的媽媽。
明天是鄰村集市的日子。您叫女仆去買些紙和筆回來。
我自己來寫爸爸該寫的每一封信；讓您找不出一點兒差錯。
我將從A一直寫到K。
但是，媽媽，您為什麼笑？
您不相信我會寫得和爸爸一樣好！
但是我將用心寫，把所有的字母寫得又大又好看。
當我寫完後，您以為我會像爸爸那樣笨，把它放到那可惡郵差的袋子裏嗎？
我會馬上自己為您送信，然後逐字逐句地給您讀。
我知道那個郵差不願意把真正的好信送給您。
