Yesterday a heat wave hit
the town. "It's too hot! Let's go for a swim after we finish our chores (家务活) at home!" Joseph complained to his little brother, Loren.
As the boys walked toward the Little Colorado River, they saw Sam and Frank,
who ran to join them. "Swimming's just what we need to cool off!" Sam
said, kicking a rock.
"Sure it is,"
Frank agreed. Then he looked at the field they were passing. There were many
round watermelons in Farmer Davis's patch (小块地). "Hey, Joseph" Frank said, "do you have the courage to
climb over that fence and get us a ripe (成熟的) watermelon?"
"I don't know. "
Joseph said.
Loren looked uncomfortable.
"I don't think that's a good idea."
"Come on," Frank said, pushing Joseph toward the fence. "No
one will ever know."
Then Frank started to climb
the wooden fence. Joseph felt bad but climbed the fence and jumped with Frank
into the watermelon patch.
Joseph took the closest
melon and raced back to the fence. The other boys laughed and took turns
carrying the heavy melon as they ran to the river. Finally they broke open the
watermelon. The sticky sweet juice was delicious! But Joseph regretted what
they had done and wished he hadn't taken the melon.
On the walk home, they
finished off the last piece of the melon just as they passed the watermelon
patch again. Joseph lowered his head quickly when he saw Farmer Davis in the
field. He waved at the boys, who quickly threw the melon rinds (皮) to the side of the road. Davis looked upset as the boys hurried
by. Joseph felt terrible. It was wrong to take the watermelon. He knew he had
to tell Farmer Davis what they had done and ask for forgiveness (宽恕).
That evening Farmer Davis
visited Joseph and Loren at their house. "One of my biggest watermelons
went missing," he said, "I was wondering if you boys happened to see
anyone in my field as you passed by today."

Farmer Davis thought for a

答案: Joseph looked at his shoes and said in a low voice. "We were with some other boys, and I took a watermelon from your field. We took it to the river and all of us ate it together." Farmer Davis said sadly, "Taking a melon that you didn't grow is stealing." "I'm really sorry," Joseph said. "I don't have any money, but I could do some chores to repay you." "I ate some too," Loren said. "I'll give you a hand." Farmer David thought for a minute. "Come by my field tomorrow morning. I think I can find some work for you." That night Joseph regretted having taken something that didn't belong to him. He decided next time someone asked him to do such things, he'd have the courage to say no. Thinking of this, he felt a little comfortable because he could do something to make up for his mistake. The next morning he would go to David's field and do whatever chores Davis asked him to do. And he wouldn't complain about the extra work — or the heat
