  Tom Dyson tried to find out what his new machine could do. One day he fixed the small box to a flowering plant that was growing in a pot. He didn't say anything at all, but he began to think some cruel thoughts.

  “I'm going to cut off these flowers. They're getting old and ugly. So I'll cut them off…”

  The needle on the machine climbed quickly from  zero to 8, then 10, 12, 15. It stopped at 17. The plant was in trouble! Something was worrying it. Was it fear or sadness? The thought of being cut? The flowers bent their heads. They suddenly looked old and tired, and Tom felt sorry for them.

  “No, no!” he cried.“I won't cut you. You're my friends. I just want you to grow and be lovely. I'll take you outside, into the sunshine. You'll like that, won't you?”

  The flowers lifted their heads slowly and seemed to smile at him. The needle returned to zero. Tom put away the machine, picked up the plant and walked outside. It was very nice in the garden that morning.

  All plants enjoy their owner's love and care and kindness. They know the sound of their voice. They also seem to understand people's thoughts. So if you have flowers of your own, think about them with love. They will return your kindness in the only way they can: they will grow strong and beautiful.

I used to live in a separate room. I loved living   36  . But one day it all changed when my brother Mike asked to  37  my room. At first, my parents said “no” to him, but at last my mother  38  . I cried and begged my parents not to do this, 39  it didn’t work.
As soon as Mike entered my room, my room began to become  40  . To my anger, he often left his unwashed clothes everywhere!
One evening, I was doing my homework on my computer while Mike was listening to music. Later, I left my  41  to get some water. A shock was  42  me when I returned. He had used my computer to play games. I had  43    to save the homework. Sadly, he closed the program  44  saving it--- all my effort had disappeared! I shouted at him at the top of my  45  . He cried a lot as my mother   46  him. My mother also asked him to leave my room  47  .
Then I did my homework once again. At 11:00PM, I  48  it. I was about to turn off my computer when I saw the  49  of my brother that he had put on my table. I looked at his lovely face and remembered how he was crying when my mom punished him. I really felt  50  for him.
I went to him. He was  51  in my parents’ bed. I kissed his forehead. He woke up, 52  and said, “I’m sorry, I won’t bring you  53  again.”
I was so  54   and I hugged him, saying, “From now on, my room is not only  55  . It is ours!”
