Jackie visited his grandparents on their farm. And he was playing
with a slingshot(弹弓)in the
woods. He practised in the woods but he could never hit the target. As
he was walking back, he saw Grandma's pet duck. Without thinking, he shot, hit
the duck in the head and killed it. He was very afraid. He knew Grandma loved
the duck. She would be sad or even angry if she knew that her duck was killed. He
then hid the dead duck under a tee. His sister Susan saw it all, but she said
nothing.
After lunch that day Grandma said, "Susan, let's wash the
dishes." But Susan said, "Grandma, Jackie told me he wanted to help
in the kitchen today, didn't you, Jackie?" And then she whispered(小声说)to him, "Remember the duck?" So
Jackie did the dishes.
Later Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing, but
Grandma said, "I'm sorry but I need Susan to help clean the house."
But Susan smiled and said, "Well, that's all right because Jackie told me
he wanted to help."
And she whispered again, "Remember the duck?" So Susan
went fishing with Grandpa and Jackie stayed.
These "remember the duck" went on for many days. Then
finally Jackie couldn't stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and told her
that he had killed the duck. She gave him a hug, and said, "Sweet heart, I
know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing. But
because I love you, I forgave you. But I just wanted to see how long you would
let Susan make a slave of you. "
