　　Jack did not live too far away from school, but he liked to walk to school every day. On his way to school he always went past a playground. When it rained, like many other boys, Jack liked playing in the water. One afternoon when the boy came home, he was all wet. His mother became very angry and said, “Don't play in the water after school.” The next day he was very wet again, and his mother became even angrier. “I'll tell your father if you go to play in the water again.” she said, “And then he'll punish (惩罚) you.” The third day the boy was dry when he came back from school. “You are a good boy today,” his mother said, “you didn't play in the water.”

　　“No,” he answered, “because there were so many older boys in the water that I couldn't play in it.”
