“What’s the matter with Leo?”asked Leo’s father

“Nothing.” said Leo’s mother.“Leo is just a late bloomer.”

“Better late than never.” thought Leo’s father.
“慢一点开窍总比不开窍好。”阿虎爸爸说。

“Are you sure Leo’s a bloomer?” asked Leo’s father.
“你确定阿虎会开窍吗？”阿虎爸爸问。

“要有耐心。”阿虎妈妈说，“常常被盯着的孩子不便容易开窍。”
So Leo’s father watched television instead of Leo

The snows came. Leo’s father wasn’t watching. But Leo still wasn’t blooming.
