The six|year|old John was1 terribly2 spoiled. His father knew it, but his grandma doted on（过分娇纵，溺爱） him. He hardly3 left her side4. And when he wanted anything, he either5 cried or threw a temper6 tantrum（乱发脾气） . Then came7 his first day of school, his first day away from his grandmother's loving8 arms.
When he came home from school his grandma met him at the door. Was school all right? she asked, Did9 you get along10 all right? Did you cry?
Cry? John asked. No, I didn't cry, but the teacher did!
六岁的约翰娇生惯养。他的爸爸了解这一点，可他的祖爸爸妈妈仍然宠着他。这孩子几乎寸步不离他的祖母。他想要什么不是哭，就是闹。
他第一天上学才离开祖母的怀抱。约翰放学了，他奶奶在门口接他并问道：学校如何？你过的怎么样？哭了没？
哭？约翰问，不，我没哭，可老师哭了。
