Four-year-old Jack loved to eat a small bowl of ice cream after dinner.And he had the habit(习惯)of licking(舔)the bowl after he had finished the ice cream to “make sure he got it all”.
His mother tried to tell him that it was not a good habit.So she said,”you know,when I was your age,my mother told me that licking my bowl was a VERY impolite(不礼貌的)theing to do.”
Jack thought for a minute,then said,”Well,you can do it now if you like,because I don’t mind at ALL!”

四岁的杰克喜欢在晚饭后吃一小碗冰激凌。他还养成了一个习惯，就是吃完后要把碗舔一遍以确保“吃干净了”。
他妈妈想告诉他舔碗是一个不好的习惯，所以她说：“你知道，我像你这么大的时候，我妈妈对我说舔碗是非常不礼貌的行为。”
杰克想了一会儿，然后说：“嗯，你要是愿意现在可以这么做，因为我一点也不介意！”
