M=Mom S=Son
M:Why are you crying
S:This morning, friends and I saw a religion parade.
M:It was a good chance for you to learn a lesson about the religion.
S:Down the street there were two guys looking ......I mean looking "no good."
M:So you were terrified to burst into tears
S:Not because of their looks.
M:But for what then
S:One of them is very tall with his protruding tongue sticking out, the
fan in his right hand. The short one has a blacken face, the fire tablet held in his left hand and chain in his right.
M:They are Seventh Lord and Eighth Lord.
S:Friends nicknamed John and me as Seventh Lord and Eighth Lord simply because I am tall and he is short. And I didn't have any idea of who they are until I saw them in person this morning.
M:So
S:So I realized I am ugly.
M:They were kidding you. By the way, I have to tell you a story about them.
S:What
M:They were two generals and devoted friends. One day, they arranged to meet beneath a bridge spanning a river. But unfortunately the rain was heavy and the water rose. Seventh Lord was delayed, but Eighth Lord determined to keep the appointment, remained beneath the bridge and drowned. Finally turning up, Seventh Lord was so filled with remorse that he hung himself from the bridge.
S:That is really touching.
M:Are you feeling better
S:Yes.
M:But why are you sticking out your tongue
S:I am trying to be as like as seventh Lord......
媽媽:你怎麼在哭?
兒子:今早,我跟朋友看到神出巡。
媽媽:那是讓你學習宗教的好機會!
兒子:但有二個人,看起來……
我是說看起來譗不好看豃。
媽媽:所以你被嚇哭了?
兒子:不是因為外表。
媽媽:那為什麼?
兒子:有一個很高又伸出長舌頭,右手拿把扇子。矮的有張大黑臉,左手拿令牌、右手拿鐵鍊。
媽媽:他們是七爺八爺。
兒子:朋友叫我跟約翰七爺八爺。因為我很高他很矮。我一直不知道誰是七爺八爺,直到今天早上看到本人才知道。
媽媽:所以?
兒子:所以我才明白我很醜。
媽媽:親愛的,他們跟你開玩笑的。而且,我再跟你說個七爺八爺的故事。
兒子:什麼?
媽媽:他們曾經是將軍又是好朋友。有一天,他們約在橋下見面。但不幸下大雨,河水暴漲。七爺遲到但八爺信守承諾在橋下等,最後溺死,七爺到的時候內心愧疚吊死在橋上。
兒子:真是感人。
媽媽:你現在覺得好一些嗎?
兒子:有。
媽媽:你為什麼把舌頭伸出來呢?
兒子:我希望能更像七爺。
