English Original
The six-year-old John was terribly spoiled. His father knew it, but his grandmother doted on him. He hardly left her side. When he wanted anything, he either cried or threw a temper tantrum.
Then came his first day of school, his first day away from his grandmother's loving arms.
When he came home, his grandmother met him at the door. "Was school all right?" she asked. "Did you get along all right? Did you cry?"
"Cry?" John replied. "No, I didn't cry, but the teacher did!"

六岁的约翰被宠坏了。他的父亲心知肚明，但他的祖母却对他百般溺爱。他几乎寸步不离祖母身边。每当他想要什么东西，他不是哭闹就是大发脾气。
终于，他上学的第一天到来了，这是他第一次离开祖母温暖的怀抱。
放学回家时，祖母在门口迎上了他。"学校还好吗？"她问道，"过得怎么样？你哭了吗？"
"哭？"约翰回答，"不，我没哭，但是老师哭了！"
