Sammy and his elder sister Marie visited their grandparents at their farm. Sammy picked up a slingshot(弹弓) to play with. He practiced in the woods but he could never hit the goal. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for lunch. As he was walking back, he saw Grandma’s pet duck.
All of a sudden, Sammy let the slingshot fly and the duck was hit on the head and died. Felling shocked and nervous, he hid the dead duck in the woods. Marie had seen it all from the window, but she said nothing. After the lunch, Grandma said, “Marie, let’s wash the dishes.” Maries said, “But Grandma, Sammy told me that he wanted to help in the kitchen.”
Then she whispered (小声说) to Sammy, “Remember the duck?” Sammy got nervous knowing his sister knew about the duck. He was clear that if he didn’t listen to her, she would tell their grandparents about it. So without saying anything, Sammy did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing, but Grandma said, “I’m sorry but I need Marie to help make dinner.” Marie just smiled and said, “Well, that’s all right because Sammy told me he wanted to help.”
She whispered again to Sammy, “Remember the duck?” Therefore, Marie went fishing and Sammy stayed to help. After several days of Marie taking advantage of (利用) Sammy, he finally couldn’t stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and said that he had killed the duck.
Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, “Sweetheart, I know. I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Marie take advantage of you.”
