English Original
My friend was working on a cruise ship that docked at a Mexican port during an exceptionally high tide. Everyone on board had to use the ship's narrow gangplank to reach the dock far below.
The staff stood frozen when a passenger in her seventies appeared at the top of the plank. There was no room for anyone to assist her, so she edged along slowly and finally made it to the dock safely, to everyone's relief. As she stepped down, she turned, looked back at the top of the plank, and shouted, "It's okay, Mother. You can come down now."

我的朋友曾在一艘游轮上工作。一次，游轮在异常高涨的潮水中停靠在墨西哥的一个港口。船上所有人都必须通过一条狭窄的跳板才能下到下方远处的码头。
当一位七十多岁的老妇人出现在跳板顶端时，所有工作人员都吓呆了。跳板太窄，根本没人能上前搀扶。于是，她只能慢慢地侧身挪动，最终安全抵达码头，让所有人都松了一口气。当她走下跳板后，转过身，望着跳板顶端喊道：“没事了，妈妈。您现在可以下来了。”
