Hence, Robert plunged into the bushes, looking for, to catch the man who dared to make a fool of him, but didn"t find even one lit.
At home, Robert was very angry to tell his mother: "mom, today there is a boy fool I deliberately hiding in the woods."

有一天，在乡间小路漫步的罗伯特，突然大喊了两声：“啊，啊！”他万万没有料到，随之，山的另一面也传来了“啊！啊”的声音。
他非常惊讶，大声质问说：“你是谁？为什么学我？”哦，天哪，同样的声音再一次从山的另一面传来：“你是谁？为什么学我？”
罗伯特有些生气了，大声叫道：“你这个傻子。”同样的声音以同样的语调，随之又从那边传来了。
于是，罗伯特跳进了灌木丛，到处寻找，去捉那个胆敢愚弄他的人，可是连一个人影都没发现。
回到家，罗伯特非常生气地告诉了妈妈：“妈妈，今天有一个男孩故意躲在树林里愚弄我。”
“罗伯特，”妈妈说，“你听到是你自己的声音，可不是别人的捉弄，你是否在生自已的气呢！”
“怎么会呢？妈妈，那不可能的。”罗伯特说。
“孩子，你从没听说过回音吗？”妈妈问。
“回音？从没有听说过呀，是什么东西？妈妈。
“我来告诉你吧，”妈妈说，“当你打球时，如果把球砸到墙壁上，它会怎么样，是不是会被弹回来呢？”
“是的，”罗伯特说，“它一弹回来，我就立即可以把它抓住了。"
“对，”妈妈说，“如果你站在一个空旷的地方，旁边又存在者山或其他高大建筑物，这时你放声大喊，你的声音就会被反弹回来。也就是说，你又听到了你喊出的话，那即是回声。哦，孩子，如果你还认为是被捉弄了，那就算是你前面的山了呀。山将你的声音反射回来，产生了回声。你所认为的那个坏男孩，会比你更加生气吗？不会的，孩子。只有你说话温和，才可以听到那温和的回声。假如你说话的声音动听，你就会听到一样愉悦的回音。
不管你在什么地方，在田野里、树林里，还是在学校、在家中都不要忘记：和善本
身是美好、善良的，能诞生伟大的爱。”
