Beating the Neighbor's Son | 打邻家的儿子

English Original

There was a man who disliked his son so intensely that he frequently whipped him.

One day, while the father was beating his son again, his neighbor witnessed the scene. The neighbor then picked up a club, ran over, and began helping to beat the abominable son directly on the head, saying, "I am beating him to satisfy his father's wish."


中文翻译

一天,这位父亲又在打儿子,被他的邻居看见了。邻居随即操起一根木棍,跑过来,夹头夹脑地帮着打这个资质恶劣的儿子,一边打一边说:“我打他,是为了满足他父亲的愿望。”
