The six-year-old John was terribly spoiled. His father knew it， but his grandma doted on him. He hardly left her side. And 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 grandmothers loving arms.

When he came home from school his grandma met him at the door. Was school all right？ she asked， Did you get along all right？ did you cry？

Cry？ John asked. No， I didnt cry， but the teacher did！

六歲的約翰嬌生慣養(yǎng)。他的父親知道這一點，可他的祖父母仍然寵著他。這孩子幾乎寸步不離他的祖母。他想要什么不是哭，就是鬧。他第一天上學才離開祖母的懷抱。

約翰放學了，他奶奶在門口接他并問道：學校怎么樣？你過的好嗎？哭了沒有？

哭？約翰問，不，我沒哭，可老師哭了。
