The Precocious Boy | 早慧的男孩

English Original

A little boy was wise beyond his years. One day, he came home from the public library with a book titled "The Care and Management of Children."

"Oh, my goodness!" exclaimed his mother in astonishment. "What are you doing with a book like that?"

"Oh," replied the precocious boy, "I want to see if I'm being brought up properly."
