Seeds of Imagination | 想象的种子

English Original

One evening, I took my four-year-old son, Jacob, to McDonald's for a "guy night" dinner. As we ate our hamburgers, Jacob pointed to the buns and asked, "Daddy, what are these little things?"

I explained they were tiny seeds and safe to eat. He fell silent for a moment, clearly deep in thought.

Finally, he looked up with an idea. "Dad," he said, "if we plant these seeds in our backyard, we'll have enough hamburgers to last forever."


中文翻译

一天晚上,我带着四岁的儿子雅各布去麦当劳吃晚餐,享受我们的“男生之夜”。我们正吃着汉堡,雅各布指着汉堡胚问道:“爸爸,这些小点点是什么?”

我解释说那是小种子,可以吃。他安静了片刻,显然在认真思考。

最后,他抬起头,想到了一个主意。“爸爸,”他说,“如果我们把这些种子种在后院,我们就会有永远吃不完的汉堡了。”
