“Well,”said Freud,”we take the sick out of their trouble and return them to the common suffering.”
As a devoted(忠实的)son,Freud often visited his old mother. His mother usually spent her summers
in a small mountain town in Austria(奥地利). The King Josef usually spent his summers there,too. One day
in the summer,a band(乐队)was playing a lively tune (曲子)when Freud’s mother was sitting at the
window and watching the people singing and dancing on Main Street. The old woman had a poor memory.
She heard the band playing,but forgot it was the King’s birthday. Freud was visiting his motlier on her 95th
birthday. He told his mother,”Mama,the band is playing for your birthday. “She believed him and had a
wonderful day.
