“Sweets are bad for your teeth,” Mr. Smith said. “Take these two oranges instead ,and give one to your elder(年長的)brother,” One of the oranges is quite a lot bigger than the other one ,and as the small boy liked oranges very much, he kept that one for himself, and gave his brother the smaller one.

When the other boy saw that his brother had a much larger orange than his own ,he said to him, “It’s selfish(自私的)to take the bigger one for yourself. If father had given me the oranges, I’d have given you the bigger one.”
