无礼的男孩

　　And all good children， both girls and boys， whom he told about this， were on their guard against wicked Cupid; but he deceives them all the same， for he is very deep. When the students come out of class， he walks beside them with a book under his arm， and wearing a black coat. They cannot recognize him. And then， if they take him by the arm， believing him to be a student too， he sticks an arrow into their chest. And when the girls go to church to be confirmed， he is amongst them too. In fact， he is always after people. He sits in the large chandelier in the theatre and blazes away， so that people think it is a lamp; but they soon find out their mistake. He walks about in the castle garden and on the promenades. Yes， once he shot your father and your mother in the heart too. Just ask them， and you will hear what they say. Oh! he is a bad boy， this Cupid， and you must never have anything to do with him， for he is after every one. Just think， he even shot an arrow at old grandmother; but that was a long time ago. The wound has long been healed， but such things are never forgotten.
