A boy steals(偷窃)a needle from his neighbour and brings it to his mother. She encourages(鼓励) him. Next time he steals a coat, she praises his work again. So the boy has a habit(习惯) of stealing things. At last he is caught when he is stealing the money of a bank. He must be killed.
His mother is very sad. The boy says," I wish to say something to my mother in her ear. "She comes close to her son. The boy bites her ear off quickly with his teeth, and he shouts," If you had beaten me when I first stole the needle, today I should not be a thief or die. ''
