“Po po, Popo, cat cat, Popo cat—oh dear, what a hard word!” said George, quite out of patience. “Do you call that a hard word to pronounce, George? I know much harder words than that.” “Well, father, this is the hardest word I ever saw,” replied George. “Sometimes the hardest words are the shortest. I know one little word, with only two letters in it, that very few children, or men either, can always speak.” said his father.
“Only two letters! What can it be?” cried George. “The hardest word,” replied his father, “I have ever met with is a little word of two letters— no.” “That’s the easiest word in the world!” cried George. He repeated, “N-o, no; n-o, no,” a great many times. “George, I hope you’ll always find it as easy to pronounce as you think it is now, and that you’ll be able to speak it when you should.”
In the morning George went bravely to school, a little proud that he could pronounce so hard a word as “Popocatepetl.” Not far from the schoolhouse was a large pond, where the boys used to skate and slide when it was frozen over.That day when the boys went to school, they found the pond as smooth and clear as glass, and they thought that by noon the ice would be strong enough to skate upon. So as soon as school was dismissed(放学)the boys all ran to the pond, —some to try the ice, and others simply to see it.
“Come, George,” said William, “now we shall have a glorious time sliding.” George hesitated(犹豫). He did not believe the ice was strong enough.
“Oh, come on!” said another boy, “I know it is strong enough. I have known it to freeze over in one night. It would bear.” But George still hesitated, for his father had forbidden him to go on the ice without special permission.
“I know why George won’t go,” said William, “he’s afraid he might fall down and hurt himself.”
“He’s a coward(胆小鬼)!” cried another.
