童年，像一条络绎不绝的小溪，缓缓地流在我的心里。在这条小溪里，既有欢乐的笑声，也有伤心的眼泪，但记得最深的，要数童年时我做过的一件傻事。
Childhood, like an endless stream, slowly flowing in my heart. In this stream, there are both laughter and tears, but the deepest thing I remember is a silly thing I did in my childhood.
那是我四岁的时候。有一天上午，外婆正在厨房里炒菜，发觉盐没有了，顿时手足无措。为什么呢？因为家里只剩下我一个人，如果她自己出去，丢下我一个人在家，又不知会发生什么事？所以感到不安。这时候我看穿了外婆的难处，自告奋勇地对外婆说：“我帮您去把盐买回来。”“你？”外婆疑惑地看着我。“对！我还去过几次了呢！”（事实上我并没有去过）外婆无奈地点了点头。
That was when I was four. One morning, grandma was cooking in the kitchen. She found that there was no salt. She was at a loss. Why? Because I'm the only one left at home. If she goes out by herself and leaves me alone at home, what will happen? So I feel uneasy. At this time, I saw through grandma's difficulties and volunteered to Grandma: "I will help you to buy salt back." "You?" Grandma looked at me doubtfully. "Yes! I've been there several times! " (I haven't actually been) grandma nodded helplessly.
很快，我就从小卖部买回了盐，正高兴着自己能为大人做事了，孰不知一不留神踩中了地上的香蕉皮。顿时摔了一跤，盐袋落在地上摔破了，白花花的盐撒满了一地，我立刻慌了手脚，心想：盐掉在地上弄脏了，得赶快把这个坏消息告诉给外婆听。
Soon, I bought salt from the canteen. I was very happy that I could work for adults. I stepped on the banana skin on the ground. I fell suddenly, the salt bag fell on the ground and broke, and the white salt was all over the ground. I immediately panicked and thought: the salt fell on the ground and got dirty, so I need to tell Grandma the bad news as soon as possible.
刚来到院子门口，就看见隔壁的王奶奶正在洗米。我顿时灵机一动，心想：既然米可以用水洗干净，那么盐一定也可以洗干净。想到这里，我立即向王奶奶借了一个水盆。来到大街上把盐装进水盆里，往大院的水龙头跑去。
Just came to the gate of the yard, I saw Grandma Wang next door washing rice. I suddenly had an idea, thinking: since rice can be washed with water, then salt can be washed. Thinking of this, I immediately borrowed a basin from Grandma Wang. Come to the street and put the salt into the water basin and run to the faucet of the courtyard.
水很快就把盆子装满了，我使劲地摇了摇盆子，然后把手伸进去搅动一下。孰知盆子里空空如也，我十分惊慌，也顾不得盆子，立刻向家里跑去。
The water soon filled the basin. I shook the basin vigorously, and then put my hand in to stir it. Who knows that the basin is empty, I am very panicked, and I can't care about the basin, so I immediately run to home.
回到家里，我把事情的经过讲给外婆听。还未说完，外婆已经捧腹大笑起来。她摸了摸我的头，笑盈盈地说：“傻孩子，盐并不像米那样洗得干净的，它是遇水即溶的。”说完又大笑起来。
When I got home, I told grandma the story. Before she finished, Grandma had already burst out laughing. She touched my head and said with a smile: "silly child, salt is not as clean as rice. It dissolves in water." Then he laughed again.
从这件事中，我懂得了一个道理：凡事皆要三思而后行。
From this, I learned a truth: think twice before you do anything.
