Parents Must Read: Do You Know What "Alexander" is?

I remember when my son was in elementary school, he hadn't finished his homework one night, he wanted to watch a cartoon, his mother wouldn't let him, and his son said: "These days my classmates are watching, if I haven't seen it, my classmates will laugh at me." ”

Mom asked, "Didn't you watch a cartoon and laugh?" ”

The son said, "Yeah, everyone knows what's going on, I don't know, but I don't have to laugh at me!" ”

When the mother's reasoning to her son: "Doing your homework now is your 'grave head'!" Other things should be considered after the assignment is completed. Besides, no one has something they don't know, and children shouldn't just laugh at you for a cartoon, just as they don't know something, and you shouldn't laugh at them."

The son listened to his mother's words and seemed to understand: "Then we are all the same children, and I don't know what they don't know!" Is there anything I know that they don't know? The little brain melon was thinking.

In order to explain this to her son, the mother said to her son: "Whoever laughs at you, you ask him, 'Do you know Alexander?'" ”

The son was puzzled: "Alexander? I don't know! ”

Mom said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know, I'll tell you." First of all, you have to remember: 'Alexander' was a king of ancient Europe (called the emperor in China), who conquered many parts of Europe and Asia and influenced the history of the whole world. ”

The son was not completely satisfied and asked, "What if the classmates know this?" ”

Mom said, "It doesn't matter, if he wants to say 'Alexander' is a 'king,' you tell him that 'Alexander' is a place name, the name of a port — 'Alexandria.'"

The son was a little excited, but wanted to know more: "What if he knows this too?" ”

Mom laughed: "Then you tell him that 'Alexander' is the name of a lighthouse in ancient Egypt, built on 'Alexandria'!" The lighthouse is more than 100 meters high, just like a 40-story building today! ”

The son's face was suddenly full of smiles: "So what else?!" ”

Mom said, "Yes!" The Library of Alexandria is also on 'Alexandria'. 'Alexander City'! It was also built by Alexander the Great... In addition, there is a parrot called the 'Alexander Parrot'... All right, let's get homework done! ”

The son's little face was like a blossom: "Okay, do your homework!" Tomorrow see who dares to laugh at me! Take 'Alexander' to test him! [Yay]
