                      【看被子】

 

 

 
                       文天玉之

 

 

一個七八歲的小女孩兒

拿著小木板凳 坐到太陽底下

院子裏需要曬被子的阿姨請她 看被子

因為 她被認定是醫院宿舍孩子裏最“乖”的女孩兒

怎能辜負阿姨的如此信賴？

 

 

眼前掛著一床淺紅色的被子 帶著碎花兒

左邊是一堵石頭院牆 頭上有藍天 白雲 和太陽

沒有小兒書 手機 遊戲機 或小夥伴兒

來哄一兩個小時的耐心與孤獨，可是

小姑娘有自己編故事的想象 逗自己玩兒。。。

 

 

後來 她就是憑著乖，靠譜，耐心，和想象力

當上了大隊長 市三好學生 大學女排隊長

再後來 拿到了博士學位 登上了美國教授的講台

她還得了這個獎，那個獎，尤其是 聲譽很高的

文學城美語世界壇 《童年幻想》活動獎

 

 

讓孩子們“看被子”吧，虎媽們 ～～～

                         【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  ~~~
