The final exam is coming soon, and the students are very nervous. So we studied very hard during this period, and Teacher Jiang praised us for our good study. Today, the text we studied in the Chinese class was: "The Secret of Ruben". After reading the text, we were impressed by Ruben's sincere love for his mother. Deeply moved.
This skimming article mainly talks about something that Ruben saw in the window, which made him excited, and he decided to raise 5 dollars to buy it without letting anyone know. Her mother is the center of the family. She has no big expectations for life, but she is hardworking and loves her children. In order to buy gifts for her mother, Ruben thought of a way to save money by collecting sacks for cents. Throughout the summer, Ruben did nothing but do other things. In addition to household chores, he never forgot the secret in his heart and kept looking for sacks to exchange for cents. The next spring came, and Ruben's spirit was high. He finally raised the money that "Secret" urgently needed in 1946. On Mother's Day, Ruben gave his mother what he had always dreamed of, a lovely gift, a blue velvet jewelry box. Her mother looked at the exquisite brooch and smiled excitedly and gratifiedly.
How hard Ruben worked to raise $5 to buy a brooch for his mother! For nearly a year, he never stopped picking up sacks. The last time he ran, he was out of breath and all over his body. She was dirty and sweaty in exchange for the most precious 10 cents. Although the gift was not heavy, Ruben's love for his mother gave her great comfort. Therefore, Ruben's filial spirit was worth it. We learn.
Students, do you know when Mother’s Day is? Do you know when your parents’ birthdays are? What have you done for your parents? What do you plan to do in the future? I think after listening to Ruben's story, everyone will definitely take action and be a good boy, a good girl, a filial boy, and a filial girl, right?
