Father and Son
Charlie was 17 years old, and had left school, he preferred living in the comfort and convenience of his parents'home though his father wanted him to leave home and earn some money. Charlie's father did not see him very often, because Charlie was usually somewhere else, amusing himself with a few of his friends, or playing the drums in a band.
One Saturday morning, while Charlie met his father. His father said to him, “You should be ashamed to live like that. When I was 17, my father never allowed me to stay out till three o'clock in the morning, and come down to breakfast at 10, and wear gold chains……”
Charlie said Kindly, “Poor father, my grandfather must have been a terrible old gentleman.”
“Not at all!”Charlie's father objected angrily. “I had a much nicer father than you'll ever have!”
父与子
查利17岁,已经离开学校了。尽管他的父亲要他离家挣钱,但他宁愿舒适安逸地住在他父母家。
查利的父亲不常见到他,因为查利通常在别处,和几个朋友玩乐或为乐队敲鼓。
一个星期六早上,查利遇到了父亲。他父亲说:“你应该对你这种生活方式而惭愧。我17岁的时候,我父亲决不允许我在外面玩到早晨三点钟才回家,不得在上午十点钟才坐下吃早餐,不得戴金项圈……”
查利客气地说:“可怜的父亲,我的祖父他一定是一位可怕的老先生。”
“决不是!”查利的父亲愤怒地表示反对,“我曾经拥有的父亲远远胜过你会永久拥有的父亲!”
