I'm Glad
A Sunday school teacher was telling her pupils the importance of making others glad."Now，children，"said she，"has anyone of you ever made someone else glad?"
"Please，teacher:said a small boy，:I’ve made 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，and stayed with her three I said to her，‘Granny, I’m going home’，and she said，‘Well，I'm glad!’”

“我奶奶。”
“好孩子。現在告訴我們，你是怎樣使你奶奶高興的。”
“是這樣的.，老師。我昨天去看她，在她那兒待了三個小時。然後我跟她說:‘奶奶，我要回家了。’她說:‘啊，我很高興!’”
