The Flowers Were Scalded

　　My grandfather liked planting flowers very much. It was a world of flowers in our home. There were flowers blooming all the year round in our yard. He took good care of them and ilo one could touch his flowers without his permission. Sometimes I thought he liked flowers more than me. But I changed my mind after an accident of watering flowers.

　　It was a cold winter day. I came out of the room and found everything covered with. snow How beautiful! Then I noticed that the flowers were also buried in the snow. They must be very cold. Why not pour some hot water on them?

　　I rushed back into the room as soon as I got this idea. I watered the flowers slowly and carefully. Seeing the snow melting, I felt very happy and even could imagine grandfather's praise. Lost in thought, I watered my feet. I cried out and they came out to see what was happening. I noticed grandfather's face turned red. He raised his hand as if he wanted to beat me. I was GREatly frightened and tears came into my eyes. But the hand didn't touch me. Grandfather pulled me into his arms and took me inside the room.

　　Then with grandfather's help, I came to see what a stupid thing I had done. Those flowers watered by hot water certainly went dead. But I promised my grandfather that I would plant more for him the next year, the year after next…

　　一想到這，我就沖進了屋里。我慢慢地、仔細地澆著這些花�？吹窖┱�在融化，我感到很高興，并且能想像出爺爺對我的表揚。正當我沉浸在想像中時，我澆到了自己的腳。我叫了一聲，大家都出來看究竟發(fā)生了什么事。我注意到爺爺?shù)哪樕�變紅了，他舉起了一只手好像要打我。我嚇壞了，眼淚都出來了。但是手沒有落下來。爺爺把我拉到他懷里，帶我進了屋。

　　在爺爺?shù)膸椭�下，我才意識到我干了一件多么愚蠢的事。被熱水澆過的花當然死掉了。但我向爺爺發(fā)誓，我會為他種許多許多的花，明年，后年……
