A Sunday-school teacher was telling her pupils①the importance of making others glad②. “Now, children,” she said, “has anyone of you ever made someone else glad?”
“Please, teacher,” said a small boy, “I’ve make someone glad yesterday.”
“Well done. Who was that!”
“My granny.”
“Good boy. Now tell us how you made your grandmother glad.”
“Please, teacher, I went to see her yesterday, ad stayed with her three hours. Then I said to her, ‘Granny, I’m going home.’ and she said, ‘Well, I’m glad!’”

一个主日学校的教师正在对学生讲使别人高兴的重要性。“听着,孩子们,”她说,“你们当中有谁曾让别人高兴过吗?”
“我,教师,”一个小男孩说,“昨天我就使别人高兴过。”
“做得好,是谁呢?”
“我奶奶。”
“好孩子。现在告诉我们,你是怎样使你奶奶高兴的?”
“是这样的,教师。昨天我去看她,在她那儿呆了三个小时。然后我对她说,‘奶奶,我要回家了。’她说,‘啊,我很高兴!’”
