Harry is eighteen now. He studies in a middle school. His parents like him very much and hope he can bee a famous man. So they often tell him to study hard and they do all for him. They call him at six in the morning, after breakfast his father takes him to school in a car and in the afternoon, as soon as the young man es back, the supper is ready. Of course, he never washes his clothes or goes to buy something in the shops.
Once, Harry’s father was sent to London on business. He would stay there for half a year. Leaving, he told his wife to take good care of their son. The woman had to get up earlier and did all what her husband did before. And two months later she was so tired that she was ill in bed. Now the young man got into trouble. He couldn’t do any housework. He had to do as his mother told him. Even he didn’t know where to get on the bus!
Yesterday Harry’s mother found his shoes were worn out and told him to buy a new pair in the shop. But he didn’t know how to choose. The woman had a sigh(叹息) and gave him a shoe pattern(鞋样) and told him to buy a pair of shoes himself. It’s Saturday today and Harry doesn’t go to school. With a policeman’s help, he found a shop. The shopkeeper was friendly to him. The man brought a lot of shoes and asked him to choose. When he was trying on a pair, suddenly he remembered something and took them off. The man was surprised and asked, “What’s the matter, young man?”
“I’m sorry, I’ve left the shoe pattern at home!”

解析：本文叙述了Harry的父母一心想让他成为名人，只让他读书学习，任何家务都不用他去做，可是等到爸爸出差不在家，妈妈因为照顾他而累病了，因为他的鞋破了让他去买鞋，他让警察帮忙找到商店，走到商店又不知怎么挑选，又把妈妈给他的鞋样忘在了家里。从这个故事里作者提醒家长要适当让孩子做些家务。
