One day Mother looked at Tom's shoes and said, "Tom, look at your shoes. How dirty they are! You must clean them."
"Oh, Mother, but I cleaned them only yesterday," said the boy.
"But they are dirty now. You must clean them again."
"I don't want to clean them today; even if I clean them today, they will be dirty again tomorrow."
Tom's mother thought for a moment and said, "All right. Don't clean them then."
In the evening Tom came back from school. He was very hungry. "Mother, give me something to eat," He said.
"You had your breakfast in the morning, Tom, and you had your lunch at school," His mother said, smiling.
"I'm hungry again now," cried the boy.
"Oh, really? But even if I give you something to eat today, you will be hungry again tomorrow."
Mr. and Mrs. Albino, with 64 children, have the world's largest family. Not one of their children is adopted(领养).
When people hear about the Albinos' large family, the first question they ask is, "How is it possible? How can one woman give birth to 64 children in her lifetime?" The answer is simple: {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Soon after the Albinos got married, the children came quickly, in twos and threes. The first 21 children were boys. Mrs. Albino loved her sons, but she wanted a daughter very much.

At times there is very little food in the Albinos' small house when there is not enough food for everyone, Mrs. Albino makes sure the youngest children do not go hungry. "The smallest eat first, and then the bigger ones. We've always done it that way," she says. Obviously, the Albinos do not have enough money for their big family, then, do they continue to have children?
The Albinos do not use birth control because it is against their religion(宗教). They could let other people take care of their children, but Mrs. Albino will not allow it, "When my two brothers and I were babies," she says, "our mother left us at an orphanage(孤儿院) and never returned. We lived there together until we were five. Then a couple adopted my brothers and I was left behind. I was heartbroken.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Even if I didn't have much money, I would always take care of my children by myself." Mrs. Albino has kept her promise.

The family lives in a two- room shack(小屋) in Colina Chile. E. Mrs. Albino loves her children very much. F. I promised myself that when I became a mother, I would never give my children away. |
