A long, long time ago there was a young boy named Huang - Xiang. He lived happily with his father and mother. But sadly, when Huang - Xiang was just nine years old, his mother suddenly passed away.
很久很久以前有個小男孩名叫黃香.他原本快快樂樂地和爸媽生活在一起,但不幸地,他母親在他九歲那年突然去世
Of course Huang - Xiang and his father were both very sad. But little Huang - Xiang was especially sad to see his father mourning day and night.
當然黃香和父親都很難過.但另小黃香分外傷心的是看到父親夜以繼日的悲傷
After a while Huang - Xiang noticed that his father was not sleeping well. Apart from the grief he felt, he also had to deal with the bad weather. Where they lived was very, very hot in the summer, and the winters were always icy cold. Their grass hutdid little to protect from the seasons.
一陣子之後,黃香發現父親睡得不好.除了心中悲苦,他還必須跟惡劣的天氣搏鬥.他們住的地方夏天非常炎熱,冬天卻凜冽刺骨.草屋幾乎沒有辦法保護他們不受寒暑侵襲
One cold winter night, Huang - Xiang came up with an idea. He went and lay down in his father's chilly bed. He use his body to warm the sheets and mattress. When his father was ready to sleep, Huang - Xiang turned the warm bed over to him, and so his father slept very well.
一個寒冷的冬夜,黃香想出一個辦法.他先去躺父親冰冷的床,用體溫讓蓆子和墊子暖和起來.當父親準備就寢,黃香就把溫暖的床留給他,因此父親睡得很好
Now many years later, people still tell the story of the loving and devoted Huang - Xiang.
