汤姆从前是个热心的少先队员.一个星期天,当他与母亲一块外出购物回家时,他突然看见一个小女孩由于不小心跌到了.汤姆毫不犹豫地向她跑去,想把她扶起来."儿子,千万别扶她.不然,你有可能引起别人的误解.别人会以为是你把她拉倒的."她自私地说.听了她的话后,汤姆把他准备帮助别人的手收了回来.两天以后,汤姆母亲在厨房做饭,而汤姆碰巧在餐桌边玩耍.不知什么原因,汤姆的宠物猫突然跳起将摆在桌子上的油瓶撞倒,里面的油马上流了出来.令汤姆的母亲大吃一惊的是,汤姆只是继续玩,连一点想去扶油瓶的意思都没有."汤姆,你干嘛不把油瓶扶起来?"她对儿子又生气又吃惊地叫道."如果我将油瓶扶起,别人会以为是我把它推倒的,所以我最好还是别管它."汤姆冷冷地说.
"种瓜得瓜,种豆得豆."汤姆的母亲终于得到了教训.父母必须记住自己应该为孩子们树立好榜样.

Tom used to be a warm-hearted young pioneer.One Sunday,when he
was on his way home from shopping together with his mom,he
suddently saw a little girl fall down out of carelessness.Without
hesitation, Tom ran towards her,intending to give her a hand.Just
before he could do it,he was stopped by his mom,"Son,never should
you pick her up,otherwise,you are likely to be misunderstood.People
may think that she was pulled down by you."She said selfishly.After
listening to her mom,Tom withdrew his helping hand.Two days later,
Tom's mom was busy cooking when Tom happened to be playing near the
dining table.Suddently,for some unknown reasons,Tom's pat cat
jumped up and knocked down an oil bottle on the
table and the oil inside flew out at once.To the great surprise of
Tom's mom,Tom kept on playing without making any attempt to pick up
the oil bottle." Tom,why don't you pick up the
oil bottle?"She shouted to her son angrily and
surprisingly."If i did,people would think it was i who knocked it
down."So,i had better let it alone."Tom answered coldly.
"One always
harvests what he has ever planted."And Tom's mom learnt her lesson
at last.What parents should always keep in mind is that they should
set good examples for their children.
