One day at a park, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench (长椅) near a playground. “That’s my son over there,” she said, pointing to (指着) a little boy in a red sweater.
“He’s a lovely boy,” the man said. “That’s my daughter on the bike in the white dress.” Then, looking at his watch, he called to his daughter, “We have to leave for home now, Rosa.”
“Just five minutes, Dad,” Rosa said, “Please, just five more minutes.”
The man agreed and Rosa went to ride his bike happily. Five minutes later, the father stood and called again to his daughter, “Time to go now?”
“Five more minutes, Dad,” Rosa said again, “Just five more minutes.”
The man smiled and said, “OK.”
“Oh, you are really a patient father,” said the woman.
The man smiled and then said, “Her elder brother Tommy died (死) in a traffic accident (事故)last year when he was riding his bike near here,” the man said, “I never spent much time with Tommy and now I’d like to give anything for just five more minutes with him. I vowed (发誓) not to make the same mistake(错误) with Rosa. She thinks she has five more minutes to ride her bike. In fact, I get five more minutes to watch her play.”
