睡前小故事：我妈妈只有一只眼睛

My mom only had one eye.I hated her. She was such an embarrassment1.

She ran a small shop at a flea2 market and collected old clothes and some other things to sell for the money we needed. Once during elementary school, it was field day, and my mom came.I was so embarrassed and wondered how could she do this to me？I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school, my schoolmates asked me, "your mom only has one eye?!" and taunted3 me.

I was so angry with my mom and wished that she would just disappear from this world. So I said to my mom, "Why don't you have the other eye?! If you're only gonna make me a laughingstock!" My mon did not respond, I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, I felt so good to have had said what I wanted to say. Maybe it was because my mom hadn't punished me, I didn't think that I had hurt her feelings very badly.

For the words I had said to her earlier,there was something pinching5 at me in the corner of my heart. Even so, I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty. I told myself that I would become successful in the near future, so I studied very hard. Later I got accepted by the Seoul University, I left my mother and came to Seoul to study. Then I got married there.

I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I am living happily as a successful man. I enjoy the life in Seoul because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom and my past. This kind of happiness was getting bigger and bigger, until one day someone knocked at my door. It was my mom! And still with her one eye! It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. My little girl ran away, scared of my mom's eye.

I screamed at her, "Who are you? I don't know you! How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter!" To this, my mom quietly answered, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared out of sight.

One day, a letter regarding6 a school reunion came to my house. Lying to my wife that I was going on a business trip, I went back to participate in the reunion. After the reunion, I went down to the old shack7, which I used to call a house, just out of curiosity8. There I found my mom fallen on the cold ground. I did not shed4 a single tear.

Then a piece of paper in her hand came into my eyes. It was a letter to me.

My son,

I think my life has been long enough now, and I won't visit Seoul anymore. But would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come to visit me once in a while? I miss you so much. And I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I decided9 not to go to the school…for you. I'm so sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you.

You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident and lost your eye. As a mom, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye. So I gave you mine. I was so proud of my son to see a whole new world for me with that eye. I was never upset at you for anything you did. During the couple of times that you were angry with me, I thought to myself, it's because he loves me.

My son…oh, my son…

Don't cry for me because of my death. I love you so much.

我妈妈只有一只眼睛。我恨她。她真是太尴尬了 1.

她在 Flea2 市场经营一家小商店，收集旧衣服和其他一些东西卖掉，以换取我们需要的钱。有一次在小学的时候，那天是运动会，我妈妈来了。我很尴尬，想知道她怎么能这样对我？我狠狠地瞪了她一眼，然后跑了出去。第二天在学校，我的同学问我：“妈只有一只眼睛？！”并嘲笑我 3 个。

我对我妈妈非常生气，希望她就这样从这个世界上消失。所以我对我妈妈说：“你为什么没有另一只眼睛呢？！如果你只想让我成为笑柄就好了！我的 mon 没有回应，我想我感觉有点难过，但与此同时，我感觉很好，因为说了我想说的话。也许是因为我妈妈没有惩罚我，我没觉得我把她的感情伤害得很严重。

对于我之前对她说的话，我心中的角落里有什么东西在捏我 5。即便如此，我还是憎恨我的独眼妈妈和我们极度贫困。我告诉自己，我很快就会成功，所以我非常努力地学习。后来我被首尔大学录取，离开母亲来到首尔学习。然后我在那里结婚了。

我买了自己的房子。然后我也有了孩子。现在我作为一个成功的人过着幸福的生活。我喜欢首尔的生活，因为这是一个不会让我想起我妈妈和我的过去的地方。这种快乐越来越大，直到有一天有人敲我的门。是我妈妈！而且还是用她的一只眼睛！感觉好像整个天空都在我身上分崩离析。我的小女儿跑开了，害怕我妈妈的眼睛。

我对她尖叫：“你是谁？我不认识你！你怎么敢来我家吓唬我女儿！“对此，我妈妈平静地回答说：”哦，我很抱歉。我可能弄错了地址，“然后她就消失在了视线中。

有一天，一封关于6 次同学聚会的信来到我家。对老婆撒谎说我要出差，回去参加团圆了。团聚后，我去了旧小屋7，我以前称它为房子，只是出于好奇8。在那里，我发现我妈妈倒在冰冷的地面上。我没有流4 滴一滴眼泪。

然后她手中的一张纸进入了我的眼睛。这是一封写给我的信。

我儿子

我想我的生活现在已经够长了，我不会再去首尔了。但是，如果我想让你偶尔来看我，问问是不是太过分了？我非常想你。当我听说你要来参加团聚时，我很高兴。但我决定9 不去学校......给你的。很抱歉，我只有一只眼睛，我让你感到尴尬。

你看，当你很小的时候，你出了一场车祸，失去了一只眼睛。作为一个妈妈，我无法忍受看着你不得不用一只眼睛长大。所以我把我的给了你。我为我的儿子感到非常自豪，因为他用那双眼睛看到了我一个全新的世界。我从来没有因为你所做的任何事情而生气。在你对我生气的那几次里，我心想，那是因为他爱我。

我儿子。。。哦，我的儿子......

不要因为我的die而为我哭泣。我非常爱你。
