适当的时机 The Right Time

 One day, when I went home after school, I found there was no one at home, so I felt bored. I suddenly thought about the toy I wanted to buy last time, but my mother stopped me, she said I had bought so many toys, I still wanted to buy. I saw my mother put her money in the desk, as I wanted the toy so much, so I took the money and then went to the shop. When my mother came home, she did not realize, but I felt so guilty¹, I decided² to tell her the truth. I finally told my mother, she smiled and told me she waited for me to confess³, if I miss the right time to confess, she would be angry, because it would improve me to be a bad child. I was so happy that I confess my mistake at the right time and correct it.

有一天，在我放学回家的时候，我发现没人在家，所以我感到很无聊。突然我想到了上次想买的玩具，但是妈妈阻止了我，她说我已经买了太多的玩具，但是我仍然想买。我看到过妈妈把钱放在桌子里，由于我是如此地想要买那个玩具，因此我拿里钱，走到商店那里。妈妈回来的时候，她没有发现，但是我感到很罪恶，我决定告诉她实话。最后我终于告诉了妈妈，她笑了笑，对我说她在等待着我的坦白，如果我错过了坦白的时间，她会很生气，因为这将证明我是个坏孩子。我很开心我及时坦诚了我的错误并予以改正。
