①有一天，下大雨，我醒来就知道不早了，因为爸爸已经在吃早点。我听着，望着大雨，心里愁得了不得。我上学不但要晚了，而且要被妈妈打扮得穿上肥大的夹袄（是在夏天！），踢拖着不合脚的油鞋，举着一把大油纸伞，走向学校去！想到这么不舒服的上学，我竟有勇气赖在床上不起来了。

　　②过一会儿，妈妈进来了。她看我还没有起床，吓了一跳，催促着我，但是我皱紧了眉头，低声向妈哀求说：

　　③“妈，今天晚了，我就不去上学了吧？”

　　④妈妈就是做不了爸爸的主，当她转身出去，爸爸就进来了。他瘦瘦高高的，站在床前来，瞪着我： 　　

　　⑤“怎么还不起来，快起！快起！” 　　

　　⑥“晚了！爸！”我硬着头皮说。　　

　　⑦“晚了也得去，怎么可以逃学！起！” 　　

　　⑧一个字的命令最可怕，但是我怎么啦？居然有勇气不挪窝儿。　　

　　⑨爸爸气极了，一把把我从床上拖起来，我的眼泪就流出来了。爸爸左看右看，结果从桌上抄起鸡毛掸子倒转来拿，藤鞭子在空中一抡，就发出咻咻的声音，我挨打了！　　

　　⑩爸爸把我从床头打到床角，从床上打到床下，外面的雨声混合着我的哭声。我哭号，躲避，最后还是冒着大雨上学去了。我是一只狼狈的小狗，被宋妈抱上了洋车——第一次花钱坐车去上学。　　

　　我坐在放下雨篷的洋车里，一边抽抽搭搭地哭着，一边撩起裤脚来检查我的伤痕。那一条条鼓起来的鞭痕，是红的，而且发着热。我把裤脚向下拉了拉，遮盖住最下面的一条伤痕，我最怕被同学耻笑。　　

　　虽然迟到了，但是老师并没有罚我站，这是因为下雨天可以原谅的缘故。　　

　　老师叫我们先静默再读书。坐直身子，手背在身后，闭上眼睛，静静地想五分钟。老师说：想想看，你是不是听爸妈和老师的话？昨天的功课有没有做好？今天的功课全带来了吗？早晨跟爸妈有礼貌地告别了吗？……我听到这儿，鼻子抽搭了一下，幸好我的眼睛是闭着的，泪水不至于流出来。　　

　　静默之中，我的肩头被拍了一下，急忙地睁开了眼，原来是老师站在我的位子边。他用眼神告诉我，叫我向教室的窗外看去，我猛一转头，是爸爸那瘦高的影子！　

　　我刚安静下来的心又害怕起来了！爸爸为什么追到学校来？爸爸点头示意招我出去。我看看老师，征求他的同意，老师也微笑地点点头，表示答应我出去。　　

　　我走出了教室，站在爸爸面前。爸爸没说什么，打开了手中的包袱，拿出来的是我的花夹袄。他递给我，看着我穿上，又拿出两个铜板来给我。

　　后来怎么样了，我已经不记得，因为那是六年以前的事了。只记得，从那以后，到今天，每天早晨我都是等待着校工开大铁栅校门的学生之一。冬天的清晨站在校门前，戴着露出五个手指头的那种手套，举了一块热乎乎的烤白薯在吃着。夏天的早晨站在校门前，手里举着从花池里摘下的玉簪花，送给亲爱的韩老师，是她教我跳舞的。
