     The director asked ,“Who paid for your college?”

     The young man answered ,“My father passed away when I was one year old,so it was just my mother. ”

     “What did your mother do?” The director seemed surprised.

     “She is a laundress (洗衣工) ”’ the young man answered,with no feelings.

     “Have you ever helped your mother wash some clothes before?”

     “Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. She could wash clothes faster than me ,” the young man seemed puzzled when answering.

     “Well,now I want you to do something. When you go back home today,clean your mother's hands and see me tomorrow. ”
