Question

One very cool day in the spring of the year, my father, who was a farmer, was ploughing, and I, nine years old, was1 the horse.I didn't do the2 very well as it was rather cold.It was a little3 than I could do to manage the task.
"Dad," said I, "how long4 I stay in field?"
"About an hour，" he answered.
An hour5 a great while and I said, "I6 I could go home now-my7 aches."
"I am very sorry," said my father, "but can't you8 till it is time to go home for dinner?"
"I think not-my headache is getting to be pretty9 ."
"Well," said he,10 me off the horse, doubting my disease was rather in my heart than my head, "you may go home.I don't want you to work11 you are sick.Go straight home, and tell your mother that I say you must take a large bowl of rhubarb(大黄).Tell her that I think it will12 you much!"
There was no choice.I went home, of course, and I had to offer the13 to my mother.I told her,14 , that I thought my head was better,15 not to take the terrible16.But it was of no use and it was too late.She understood my case as17 as my father did.She knew well enough my18 was laziness.So she prepared a large bowl of rhubarb and I had to swallow all of it.Dear me! How bitter it was! I am sure I would rather ride the horse all day than to be doctored in that way.Since then I never told another19 .
