男孩在圣誕節(jié)得到一個放大鏡，然后把草坪點著了

A Texas couple thought a magnifying glass would be an innocent Christmas gift for their pre-teen son — until he accidentally set the lawn on fire with it.

一對來自得克薩斯州的夫婦認為，送給他們不到十歲的兒子一個放大鏡是一件天真無邪的圣誕禮物——直到他不小心把草坪點著了。

Nissa-Lynn Parson, of McKinney, posted to Facebook that she and her husband got their 12-year-old son, Cayden, a magnifying glass for reading. But the parents were stunned when he ended up starting a small fire on Christmas Day.

麥金尼的尼薩-林恩·帕森(Nissa-Lynn Parson)在Facebook上發(fā)帖稱，她和丈夫給12歲的兒子凱登(Cayden)買了一個放大鏡，供他閱讀。但當他在圣誕節(jié)那天點燃了一堆小火時，他的父母都驚呆了。

“We discovered he and his two brothers went out on the driveway and burned a couple holes in some paper,” she wrote. “Everything was under control until the boys came running into the house telling us that a corner of the lawn was on fire and the Christmas lights were melting!”

“我們發(fā)現(xiàn)他和他的兩個兄弟走到車道上，在一些紙上燒了幾個洞，”她寫道。“一切都在控制之中，直到孩子們跑進房子，告訴我們草坪的一個角落著火了，圣誕彩燈也正在融化!”

She posted photos and a video of the family trying to douse the smoking, blackened lawn.

她上傳了一些照片和一段視頻，視頻中這家人正試圖撲滅冒著煙、被熏黑的草坪。

“Justin and I rushed outside to see the entire front lawn turning black!” Parson wrote. “We grabbed buckets, Justin turned the sprinklers on, and I grabbed blankets to smother and trap it – before it could spread any more into the neighbors yard! What a sight to see – a bunch of people running around crazy trying to put a front lawn fire out while wearing matching Christmas jammies!”

“賈斯汀和我沖了出去，看到前面的整個草坪都變黑了!”帕森寫道。“我們拿了水桶，賈斯汀打開了灑水器，我拿了毯子把火悶滅——趁它還沒擴散到鄰居的院子里!一群人穿著配套的圣誕睡衣，瘋了似的跑來跑去，想把草坪前面的火撲滅。”

Luckily, no one was hurt, but the brothers have some hefty chores ahead of them in a few months.

幸運的是，沒有人受傷，但幾個月后，兄弟倆還有一些繁重的家務要做。

“They will definitely have yard work to do once spring comes,” their mother told the station.

“當春天來了，他們肯定得在院子里干活。”她們的母親告訴電視臺。

“This will be a story passed down to generations and generations,” she added. “’Remember the one year you lit the lawn on fire?’ Yeah, this will be a story that lasts a long time.”

“這將是一個代代相傳的故事，”她補充道。“‘還記得你點燃草坪的那一年嗎?’是的，這將是一個持續(xù)很長時間的故事。”
