Once upon a time, there was a little boy. His parents were poor farmers. They couldn’t pay for a worker, so the boy had to help. He worked hard.
从前，有一个小男孩。他的父母都是贫穷的农民。他们付不起工人的工钱，所以那个小男孩不得不帮忙干活。他干得很卖力。
Every day, he had a one-hour rest at sunset. He used that time to climb to the top of a hill. There, he could see a house on another hill. It had golden windows. They were really bright and shone like diamonds.
每天日落时分，他有一个小时的休息时间。他利用那段时间爬上了一座小山的山顶。在那里，他能看到另一座小山上的一栋房子，它有着金色的窗户。这些窗户非常明亮，而且像钻石一样闪闪发光。
One day, the boy’s father said to him, “You worked really hard, so you can take a day off. Try to learn something good.”
有一天，男孩的父亲对他说：“你干活很卖力，所以你可以休息一天。试着去学点有用的东西吧。”
The boy thanked his father. Then, he left home and walked to the far hill. He came to the house and knocked on the door. Then a girl answered. He told her about the golden windows. The girl shook her head and said, “Poor farmers like us only have glass windows. Look there! That’s the house with the golden windows.” She pointed at something far away.
男孩谢过父亲。随后，他离开家，走向远处的小山。他来到那栋房子前，敲了敲门，应门的是一个女孩。男孩告诉了她关于金色窗户的事情。女孩摇摇头说：“像我们这样的穷苦农民只有玻璃窗。看那儿！那才是有金色窗户的房子。”她指向远方的一处地方。
When the boy looked, he saw his own house. He then thanked the girl and rushed home.
当男孩看过去时，他看到了自己家的房子。随后他向女孩道了谢，就匆匆赶回家。
Inside, he saw his family and smiled. He told them about his excellent day. He also said, “I learned a great lesson—our house has golden windows.”
回到家里，他看到了自己的家人，笑了笑。他向他们讲述了自己这美好的一天。他还说：“我学到了很重要的一课——我们的家有金色的窗户。”
