LESSON 5
POPPING CORN
爆米花
1. One autumn night, when the wind was high,
And the rain fell in heavy plashes,
A little boy sat by the kitchen fire,
A-popping corn in the ashes;
And his sister, a curly-haired child of three,
Sat looking on, just close to his knee.
2. Pop! pop! and the kernels, one by one,
Came out of the embers flying;
The boy held a long pine stick in his hand,
And kept it busily plying;
He stirred the corn and it snapped the more,
And faster jumped to the clean-swept floor.
3. Part of the kernels flew one way,
And a part hopped out the other;
Some flew plump into the sister’s lap,
Some under the stool of the brother;
The little girl gathered them into a heap,
And called them a flock of milk-white sheep.
LESSON 74
THE YOUNG WITNESS
小证人
1.A little girl nine years of age was brought into court, and
offered as a witness against a prisoner who was on trial for a
crime committed in her father’s house.
2. “Now, Emily,” said the counsel for the prisoner, “I wish to
know if you understand the nature of an oath?”
3.“I don’t know what you mean,” was the simple answer.
4.“Your Honor,” said the counsel, addressing the judge, “it is
evident that this witness should be rejected. She does not
understand the nature of an oath.”
5.“Let us see,” said the judge. “Come here, my daughter.”
6.Assured by the kind tone and manner of the judge, the child
stepped toward him, and looked confidingly in his face, with a
calm, clear eye, and in a manner so artless and frank that it went
straight to the heart.
7.“Did you ever take an oath?” inquired the judge.
8. The little girl stepped back with a look of horror; and the
red blood rose and spread in a blush all over her face and neck, as
she answered, “No, sir.” She thought he intended to ask if she had
ever used profane language.
9.“I do not mean that,” said the judge, who saw her mistake; “I
mean were you ever a witness?”
10.“No, sir; I never was in court before,” was the answer.
11.He handed her the Bible open. “Do you know that book, my
daughter?”
12.She looked at it and answered, “Yes, sir; it is the
Bible.”
13.“Do you ever read in it?” he asked.
14.“Yes, sir; every evening.”
15.“Can you tell me what the Bible is?” inquired the judge.
16.“It is the word of the great God,” she answered.
17.“Well,” said the judge, “place your hand upon this Bible, and
listen to what I say;” and he repeated slowly and solemnly the
following oath: “Do you swear that in the evidence which you shall
give in this case, you will tell the truth, and nothing but the
truth; and that you will ask God to help you?”
18.“I do,” she replied.
19.“Now,” said the judge, “you have been sworn as a witness; will
you tell me what will befall you if you do not tell the
truth?”
20.“I shall be shut up in the state prison,” answered the
child.
21.“Anything else?” asked the judge.
22.“I shall never go to heaven,” she replied.
23.“How do you know this?” asked the judge again.
24.The child took the Bible, turned rapidly to the chapter
containing the commandments, and, pointing to the one which reads,
“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor,” said, “I
learned that before I could read.”
25.“Has anyone talked with you about being a witness in court
here against this man?” inquired the judge.
26.“Yes, sir,” she replied, “my mother heard they wanted me to be
a witness; and last night she called me to her room, and asked me
to tell her the Ten Commandments; and then we kneeled down
together, and she prayed that I might understand how wicked it was
to bear false witness against my neighbor, and that God would help
me, a little child, to tell the truth as it was before him.”
27.“And when I came up here with father, she kissed me, and told
me to remember the Ninth Commandment, and that God would hear every
word that I said.”
28.“Do you believe this?” asked the judge, while a tear glistened
in his eye, and his lip quivered with emotion.
29.“Yes, sir,” said the child, with a voice and manner which
showed that her conviction of the truth was perfect.
30.“God bless you, my child,” said the judge, “you have a good
mother. The witness is competent,” he continued. “Were I on trial
for my life, and innocent of the charge against me, I would pray
God for such a witness as this. Let her be examined.”
31.She told her story with the simplicity of a child, as she was;
but her voice and manner carried conviction of her truthfulness to
every heart.
32.The lawyers asked her many perplexing questions, but she did
not vary in the least from her first statement.
33. The truth, as spoken by a little child, was sublime.
Falsehood and perjury had preceded her testimony; but before her
testimony, falsehood was scattered like chaff.
34.The little child, for whom a mother had prayed for strength to
be given her to speak the truth as it was before God, broke the
cunning device of matured villainy to pieces, like a potter’s
vessel. The strength that her mother prayed for was given her; and
the sublime and terrible simplicity,—terrible to the prisoner and
his associates,—was like a revelation from God himself.
