这一天，小男孩霍斯过得很不高兴。他带着一肚子怒气回家。但是，他妈妈却说要煮汤。当水滚开时，妈妈对着锅子大叫，她要小男孩也照样做。他们还一起对着锅子龇牙咧嘴、吐舌头、大声敲打锅子。最后，小男孩笑了，心里也快活多了。有时候，孩子难免处在负面的情绪当中，成人应该试着了解和接纳孩子的情绪，同时帮助孩子找到合适的抒解管道。这是与孩子共读此书时，值得细细咀嚼的滋味。
One day, the little boy Hoth was very upset. He went home full of anger. However, his mother suggested making soup to help with his anger. When the water boiled, the mother yelled at the pot and she asked little Hoth to do the same. Together, they grinned at the pot, stuck their tongues, and banged the pot loudly. Finally, the little boy smiled and felt much happier in his heart. Children will inevitably experience negative emotions and this is where adults should try to understand and accept the children's emotions and at the same time, help them find the right way to express their emotions.
