Our waitress looked even younger than my daughter．When she 1 the steamed fish, the dish tilted and the 2 splashed over my overcoat．My favorite overcoat!
3 sprang out of her chair and dashed to her．“It doesn’t matter．Never mind,” said my daughter, with a very 4 smile．
Looking at my 5 overcoat, the panicked waitress stammered,“I, I, let me wipe it off with napkin…．”
“It really doesn’t matter．Go on with your work and 6 it．”My daughter spoke in such a soft voice as if not the waitress 7 she had done wrong．A relaxed smile came back to 8 face．She said“Sorry” again and again and left．
My daughter stared at me quietly．Alas, her big eyes were covered with 9 !Slowly she began to tell me a story．
My daughter had 10 in London for three years．To develop her 11 , she didn’t go home over the years．Every vacation she would work and earn money for her backpack tours．My daughter was entirely a princess at home, but she worked as an odd-jobber in England．
She got into trouble on the first day．
Her task was to 12 cups．The cups were as thin as paper．She had a 13 time cleaning up piles of them．But before she could sit down and relax, her legs gave 14 and she fell onto the cups, which crashed to the 15 into pieces．
“Mum, at that time I really had the 16 of falling into the hell,” even now my daughter’s 17 trembled．“But, can you guess what the forewoman did to me?She walked up to me and asked concernedly, ‘Are you okay?’ Then she 18 and told other waitresses to clear the pieces．She didn’t blame it on 19 at all．”
“Since others could forgive your daughter’s fault, why can’t you treat others as your daughter and forgive theirs?”
