Pa Won't Like It | 爸爸会不高兴的

点击查看中英对照

A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagon full of corn. A nearby farmer heard the noise and called out, "Hey, Willis! Forget your troubles for now. Come join us, and I'll help you right the wagon later."

"That's mighty nice of you," Willis replied, "but I don't think Pa would like me to."

"Aw, come on," the farmer insisted.

"Well, okay," the boy finally agreed, adding, "but Pa won't like it."

After a hearty dinner, Willis thanked his host. "I feel much better now," he said, "but I know Pa is going to be real upset."

"Don't be foolish," the neighbor said with a smile. "By the way, where is he?"

"Under the wagon."
