爹爹说：“花生的用处固然很多；但有一样是很可贵的。这小小的豆不像那好看的苹果、桃子、石榴，把它们的果实悬在枝上，鲜红嫩绿的颜色，令人一望就产生羡慕的心。它只把果子埋在地底，等到成熟，才让人把它挖出来。你们偶然看见一棵花生瑟缩地长在地上，不能立刻辨出它有没有果实，非得等到你接触它才能知道。”　　我们都说：“是的。”母亲也点点头。爹爹接下去说：“所以你们要像花生，因为它是可用的，不是伟大、好看的东西。”我说：“那么，人要做有用的人，不要做伟大、体面的人了。”爹爹说：“这是我对于你们的希望。”

【参考译文】
Dad said, “No doubt, the groundnut has many uses. Yet, it has one valuable quality. This small nut is not like those good-looking apples, peaches and pomegranates, which hang their colorful fruits on the branches and invite admiration. The little peanuts bury themselves underground and remain unearthed until they’re ripe. If you happen to see a groundnut plant crouching there, you cannot decide at once whether it has fruit or not. You can only know this by getting into touch with it.”
We all said yes. Mother also nodded her head. Dad continued, “So, you should learn from the groundnut and be useful people instead of those grand or beautiful ones.” I followed, “Then a person should be helpful and not just seemingly grand or decent?” Father concluded, “That’s what I expect of you.”
