A Generous Deed.
义快的行为

星期三，26日。
It was this very morning that Garrone let us know what he is like. When I entered the school a little late, because the mistress of the upper first had stopped me to inquire at what hour she could find me at home, the master had not yet arrived, and three or four boys were tormenting poor Crossi, the one with the red hair, who has a dead arm, and whose mother sells vegetables. They were poking him with rulers, hitting him in the face with chestnut shells, and were making him out to be a cripple and a monster, by mimicking him, with his arm hanging from his neck. And he, alone on the end of the bench, and quite pale, began to be affected by it, gazing now at one and now at another with beseeching eyes, that they might leave him in peace. But the others mocked him worse than ever, and he began to tremble and to turn crimson with rage. All at once, Franti, the boy with the repulsive face, sprang upon a bench, and pretending that he was carrying a basket on each arm, he aped the mother of Crossi, when she used to come to wait for her son at the door; for she is ill now. Many began to laugh loudly. Then Crossi lost his head, and seizing an inkstand, he hurled it at the other's head with all his strength; but Franti dodged, and the inkstand struck the master, who entered at the moment, full in the breast.
卡隆的为人，我看了今日的事情就明白了。我因为二年级时候的女先生来问我何时在家，到校稍迟，入了教室，先生还未来。一看，三四个小孩聚在一处，正在戏弄那赤发的一手有残疾的卖野菜人家的孩子克洛西。有的用三角板打他，有的把栗子壳向他的头上投掷，说他是“残废者”，是“鬼怪”，还将手挂在项颈上装他的样子给他看。克洛西一个人坐在位子里，脸色都苍白了，眼光看着他们，好像说“烧了我吧”。他们见克洛西如此，越加得了风头，越加戏弄他。克洛西终于怒了，红了脸，身子都发震了。这时那个脸很讨厌的勿兰谛忽然跳上椅子，装出克洛西母亲挑菜担的样子来。克洛西的母亲因为要接克洛西回家，时常到学校里来的，现在听说正病在床上。（许多学生都知道克洛西的母亲，看了勿兰谛装的样子）大家笑了起来。克洛西大怒，突然将摆在那里的墨水瓶对准了勿兰谛掷去。勿兰谛很敏捷地避过，墨水瓶恰巧打着了从门外进来的先生的胸部。
All flew to their places, and became silent with terror.
大家都逃到座位里，怕得不做一声。
The master, quite pale, went to his table, and said in a constrained voice:—
先生变了脸色，走到教桌的旁边，用严厉的声音问：
