母親的謊言

One day， Thomas Edison came home and gave a letter to his mother. “My teacher told me to only give this letter to you， Mom.” His mothers eyes were tearful as she read the letter out loud to her child， “Your son is a genius. This school is too small for him and doesnt have enough good teachers for training him. Please teach him yourself.”

Many years after Edisons mother had died， Edison had become one of the greatest inventors of the century. One day he was going through the old closet and he found a folded letter which was given to him by his teacher for his mother. He opened it. The message written on the letter was， “Your son is mentally ill. We can not let him attend our school anymore. He is expelled1.”

Edison became emotional reading it and then he wrote in his diary， “Thomas Alva Edison was a mentally ill child whose mother turned him into the genius of the century.”

A mothers love and upbringing2 can help change the destiny of a child.

一天，托馬斯·愛(ài)迪生回到家里，交給媽媽一封信：“我的老師讓我把這封信只給你看。”他的媽媽含著眼淚大聲給兒子讀出了信中的內(nèi)容：“你的孩子是個(gè)天才。這個(gè)學(xué)校對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)太小了，沒(méi)有足夠的好老師來(lái)訓(xùn)練他，請(qǐng)你自己教他吧。”

母親去世很多年后，愛(ài)迪生成了那個(gè)世紀(jì)最偉大的發(fā)明家之一。一天，他在細(xì)查舊櫥柜時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)了那封折疊的、由他老師讓他轉(zhuǎn)交給母親的信。他打開(kāi)了信，上面寫(xiě)著這樣的話：“你的兒子智力上有毛病，我們不能再讓他上學(xué)了，他被開(kāi)除了?！?/p>

讀著讀著，愛(ài)迪生愈發(fā)感動(dòng)。后來(lái)，他在日記里寫(xiě)道：“托馬斯·阿爾瓦·愛(ài)迪生是個(gè)智力有問(wèn)題的孩子，是他的母親讓他成為了一個(gè)世紀(jì)天才?！?/p>

母親的愛(ài)和撫育能夠改變一個(gè)孩子的命運(yùn)。
