A precocious boy 早慧的小男孩
 
A little boy was wise beyond his age. One day he came home from the public library with a book. Its title was "The Care and Management of Children".
"Oh, my god," exclaimed his mother in astonishment. "What are you doing with a book like that?"
"Oh, " replied the precocious（早熟的） boy, "I want to see if I'm being brought up properly."
一个早慧的小男孩有一天从公共图书馆回家时带回一本书，书名是《对儿童的照料和管理》。
他的母亲惊讶得大叫道：“啊，我的天哪！你要这样的书干什么呢？”
这个早慧的孩子回答说：“哦，我想看看我是否是在受到正确的教养。”
