从前有个农夫嫌他种的禾苗长得慢,就到地里把禾苗一株株地拔高了一点。回家后他对家人说:“今天可真把我累坏了!但我总算让禾苗一下子长高了。”儿子到地里去一看,禾苗都已经死光了。现在有些家长急于让孩子成功,往往步那个农夫的后尘,搞得孩子苦不堪言,却不见孩子学业长进。这样的家长是否该对这个问题有所醒悟,让孩子自然成长呢?

Once upon a time there was a farmer who thought his seedlings were growing slowly, so he went to the field and pulled them up a little bit. When he got home, he said to his family, " I'm really tired today! " But I managed to make the seedlings grow taller. " The son went to the field and saw that all the seedlings were dead. Now some parents eager to let their children succeed, often follow in the footsteps of the farmer, make the children miserable, but do not see the children's academic progress. Should such parents wake up to the problem and let their children grow up naturally?
