　　小學三年級英語小故事：什么才是真正的勇氣

　　A father was worried about his son, who was sixteen years old but had no courage at all. So the father decided to call on a Buddhist monk to train his boy.

　　The Buddhist monk said to the boy’s father, “You should leave your son alone here. I’ll make him into a real man within three months. However, you can’t come to see him during this period. ”

　　Three months later, the boy’s father returned. The Buddhist monk arranged a boxing match between the boy and an experienced boxer. Each time the fighter struck the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up; and each time a punch knocked him down, the boy stood up again. Several times later, the Buddhist monk asked, “What do you think of your child?”

　　“What a shame!” the boy’s father said. “I never thought he would be so easily knocked down. I needn’t have him left here any longer.”

　　“I’m sorry that that’s all you see. Don’t you see that each time he falls down; he stands up again instead of crying? That’s the kind of courage you wanted him to have.”

　　一位父親為兒子擔心。兒子16歲了，卻沒有一點勇氣。于是，父親決定去拜訪一位禪師，請他訓練兒子。

　　禪師對男孩的父親說：“你應該讓他單獨留在這里。不出3個月，我要讓他成為一個真正的男子漢。不過，在這段時間，你不能來見他。”

　　3個月后，男孩的父親又來見禪師。禪師安排這個男孩和一位經(jīng)驗豐富的拳師進行拳擊比賽。拳師每次一出手，男孩就倒在地上，但男孩又馬上站起來;每次將他擊倒，他就又站起來。幾個回合后，禪師問道：“你認為自己的孩子怎么樣?”

　　“真丟人!”男孩的父親說，“我絕沒想到他這樣不堪一擊。我不需要他再留在這里了。”

　　“很遺憾，你只看到了這一點。難道你沒看到他每次倒下后并沒有哭泣，而是重新站起來了嗎?這才是你想要他擁有的那種勇氣。”
