刚巧小光手持长矛从外面冲了进来，发现自己的“作品”被擦了，立刻大闹起来：“你干吗擦我的画?臭爸爸!”哭喊着用长矛向老纪刺过来。老纪急中生智，抓起锅盖来自卫，口里不住地求饶：“别别，好孩子，听爸爸说，爸爸不是给乖乖做饭吗?不擦掉怎么切菜呀?等我用完，你再画……”
“不行!不行!你赔我!”“那……爸爸明天给你买个画册。”“不，我不干，你赔我，你赔我!’‘“那么，过一会爸爸趴在床上当马，让你骑上玩打仗，好不好？”
Just then his son, Xiao Guang, rushed in with a long spear in hand. Seeing that his "masterpiece" was cleaned off, he flared up. "Why did you clean off my picture? What a beastly dad you are!" he tired, pointing his spear at Lao Ji.
In desperation, Lao Ji took up the pot lid for self defense. He was begging his son, "Please, don't! There is a dear! Listen to your dad. Dad is preparing dinner far you. How can I cut vegetables without cleaning the drawing off? You can draw on it after I have done the cutting, can't you?"
"No! That won't do! You must make it up to me!"
"Well, III buy you a drawing book tomorrow."
"No. it won't do, either. I must get it right now!"
"Well then, what if I serve as a horse on a bed while you ride an me and play being a knight?"
大概小孩子都爱玩打仗，小光这才住了手。可是这场“以子之矛攻父之盾”的战斗虽然结束了，紧接着又转入了“停战谈判”。小光提出马上就骑，老纪说：“爸爸现在正做饭，哪有工夫陪你玩?等吃完饭一定让你骑个够，撤谎是小狗。”小光仍然坚持己见，丝毫没有让步的意思。老纪搓着两手，忽然想起：“唉!对了，刚才爸爸又给你买来巧克力，你快去要不都叫妈妈吃了。”“我不要吃，我要骑。”
谈判处于僵局，老纪正束手无策，老纪爱人出面调停了：“哎呀!你那么大人还跟孩子一般见识，饭晚点做怕什么，先让他骑一会不就完了？”
像在球场上双方发生争执时，裁判员一声哨令那样有效，老纪立刻回屋履行“孺子马”的义务去了……
This suggestion made Xiao Guang put his spear away, for he liked the idea as most boys did. Hardly had the battle between the sons spear and father’s shield ended when an "armistick tale" begirt. When Xiao Guang demanded to ride the horse right then, Lao Ji replied. "I'm now preparing dinner. III let you ride on me to your heart's content after dinner. Is that okay? If I don't keep my word, FU be damned!"
But Xiao Guang wouldn't budge an inch. Lao Ji wrung his hands in the air out of desperation and started to think of a new idea. "Oh, yes! I've just bought a bar of chocolate. Run and get it right row, or Mum wilt eat it all!"
"I don't want chocolate! I want to ride a horse..!"
The quarrel carne to a stalemate, and Lao Ji was at his wit's end wizen his wife came to make peace. "Look at you, dear! So childish! What does it matter if we have dinner a bit later than usual?
Her words were like a whistle of a referee that settled the dispute immediately. Into Ji instantly went back to his room to carry out his duty as an "obedient horse.”
