哈,幸好剛發現了一個梗,趕快來寫!!!
我來在倫敦之前,並不認識Rudyard Kipling, 大概是幾周之前,我看了一些有關人生觀的文章,找到了IF。這是他寫給兒子的詩。我覺得蠻不錯的,這可以想想自己的生活,也可以讓為人父母者想想要給下一代怎樣的人生哲學。
今天早上,I 同學在FB上寫了一個Note。發現這原來也是Kipling寫的,對象是女兒。原來是女兒要去倫敦生活了,給她寫了幾個注意事項。我看了一看,嗯,我還頗遵守的。:P
Dear Bird,
[...]
I send you a few simple rules for Life in London.
- Wash early and often with soap and hot water.
- Do not roll on the grass of the parks. It will come off black on your dress.
- Never eat penny buns, oysters, periwinkles or peppermints on the top of a bus. It annoys the passengers.
- Be kind to policemen. You never know when you may be taken up.
- Never stop a motor bus with your foot. It is not a croquet ball.
- Do not attempt to take pictures off the wall of the National Gallery or to remove cases of butterflies from the National History Museum. You will be noticed if you do.
- Avoid late hours, pickled salmon, public meetings, crowded crossings, gutters, water-carts and over-eating.
Ever your
Daddo (from List of Note)
