Mrs.Green has two sons.One morning,when she is doing the washing for the family,her younger son comes and asks her for some money for sweets. "Sweets are bad for your teeth," Mrs.Green says." Take these two oranges instead,and give one to your older brother." One of the oranges is much bigger than the other,and as the boy likes oranges,he keeps the bigger one for himself,and gives his brother the smaller one. When the older boy finds out that his brother had a much bigger orange than his own,he says to him."It's selfish to take the bigger one for yourself.If mum gives me the oranges,I must give you the bigger one." "I know you will," answers his brother,"That's why I take it." 格林夫人有两个儿子。一天上午，她正在洗全家的衣服时，小儿子走过来，向她要钱买糖果。 “糖果对你的牙齿不好，”格林夫人说：“把这两个橘子拿去吃吧，给你哥哥一个。”这两个橘子中，一个比另一个大好多，而这个小男孩又特别喜欢吃橘子，于是他就留下了大个儿的橘子，把小的给了哥哥。 哥哥发现弟弟的橘子比自己的大许多，就说：“你真自私，把大个儿的留给自己。如果妈妈给我两个橘子，我一定会把大的给你。” “我知道你会那样做，”弟弟回答说：“所以我就拿了大个儿的。”
