Question

How hard we all pray(祈祷) to grow up quickly,and look forward to the happy days of being a grown-up(成人), and enjoy the many interests that a youth should have.

At last,you grow up. At least you are no longer a child. They call you "young lady". You then enjoy being a young lady. You are proud (骄傲) of being a grown-up teenager. People welcome you--this young lady warmly. You are glad that your prayer has been answered.

But there is always something that troubles you a lot. You say, "Papa and Mama, give me some money please. My pocket money is all gone (用完) already."

"No," they say, "Your age is dangerous. If you have too much money to spend, it won't do you any good." Then you have to stay at home because you dare not go out with an empty pocket.

Another time you tell your grandma, "Grandma, see,I am a grown-up now."

"Good,now, you can sit here and knit (编织) this for me when I go and have a rest. "To show that you are no more a child, you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing the work,which only a grown-up can do. After an hour,you find it hard to do, and give the knitting basket back to your grandma. Your grandma criticizes (批评 ) your work. You hear what she says, "Such a big girl can't do such easy work." You wish then you were a child again.

But the fact is, you are growing up, and you can't help it. That's the way it goes.
