小事一桩 (Small Things)

有机农场让游客们免费捞鱼，每人限捞三条。小孩们开心极了，都捞得不舍得离开。池塘里的鱼儿虽多，但鱼儿们动作迅速敏捷，想捞到它们倒也不容易。

后来老爸和姑姑出马，才成功捞到鱼儿，让女儿和儿子各带三条鱼回家养。

女儿和儿子虽然自己捞不到鱼，老爸却看得出他们捞鱼之乐。

儿子在公园玩乐时看到一些可爱的心型小叶子长在树干上，好奇的稚子心按耐不住拔了一串来玩，欣喜之情现于脸上。

虽然都是小事一桩，老爸却看得出孩子们纯洁简单的快乐。

The organic farm operator allowed the kids to scoop for the fishes in the pond. The kids tried hard but it proved to be quite a challenge for them to get hold of the fast moving fishes.

Finally daddy and aunty turned hero and helped the kids to scoop out three fishes each. The fishes were later brought back home to rear. The children had great fun and joy in the farm.

My little boy discovered some lovely heart-shaped leaves growing on a tree trunk; he plucked down a string of the leaves happily. It was clearly visible on his facial expression that he was delighted.

These are small things indeed, but such is the pure simple pleasure of children’s life.
