湿了裤子

一个十岁的小男孩正坐在课堂上上课，突然他感觉自己小便了，而且他裤子的前面都湿了一片。他感觉自己的心跳都近乎停止，因为他甚至不能相信这是怎么发生的。这之前从未发生过啊，他知道如果让其他男孩知道这件事，他们估计就会毫无止境的说下去。如果让女孩子发现了，可能她们就一辈子都不会再和他讲话。男孩低下了头，开始在心里祈祷：“亲爱的上帝，这是个突发状况！我现在需要帮助！”他从祈祷中回过神来抬头一看，发现老师正走向他，好像他的行为已经被发现了。

正当老师走向他的时候，一个叫苏西的同班同学正搬着一个装满水的金鱼缸。接着苏西轻快的走到老师前面，接着突然把鱼缸里的水倒到了男孩的膝盖上。男孩假装很生气，但是却一直在心里对自己说：“感谢上帝！感谢上帝！”现在，突然间，男孩由一个本该被嘲笑的对象变成了被同情的对象。老师很快把他带到楼下让他把裤子烘干，并给他换上了一条运动短裤。其他的同学都手脚齐上阵，把男孩的桌子清理干净。然而那些本该属于男孩的嘲笑声都转移到了苏西身上。

她尝试着去帮助他们，可是他们却叫她走开：“你做的够多的了,你真是个傻瓜！”

最终，在一天的课程结束后，正当他们俩在等学校巴士的时候，男孩走到苏西身边，然后轻声的说：“你今天是故意这么做的吧，是吗？”

苏西轻声的回答他：“我曾经也尿湿过裤子。”
