¡¡¡¡Reading the following accounts£®A father sat at his ¡¡¡¡1¡¡¡¡ watching his monthly bills when his young son rushed into the room and ¡¡¡¡2¡¡¡¡, ¡° Dad, because this is your birthday and you¡¯re 55 years old, I¡¯m going to give you 55 ¡¡¡¡3¡¡¡¡, one for each year!¡± When the boy started ¡¡¡¡4¡¡¡¡ good on his word, the father said, ¡° Oh, Andrew, don¡¯t do it now; I¡¯m too ¡¡¡¡5¡¡¡¡! ¡±
¡¡¡¡The youngster immediately fell silent as tears ¡¡¡¡6¡¡¡¡ in his big blue eyes£®Apologetically the father said, ¡°You can finish later£®¡± The boy said nothing but ¡¡¡¡7¡¡¡¡ walked away from his father, with ¡¡¡¡8¡¡¡¡ written over his face£®That evening the father said, ¡°Come and ¡¡¡¡9¡¡¡¡ the kisses now, Andrew!¡± But the boy didn¡¯t respond£®
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡10¡¡¡¡, a few days later after this incident, the boy had an accident and was ¡¡¡¡11¡¡¡¡£®His heartbroken father wrote£º
¡¡¡¡¡°If only I could tell him how much I ¡¡¡¡12¡¡¡¡ my thoughtless words, and could be assured that he knows how much my heart is ¡¡¡¡13¡¡¡¡£®¡±
¡¡¡¡Love is a two-way street£®Any loving ¡¡¡¡14¡¡¡¡ must be warmly accepted or it will be ¡¡¡¡15¡¡¡¡ as rejection and can leave a ¡¡¡¡16¡¡¡¡£®If we are too busy to give and receive love, we are too busy! Nothing is more ¡¡¡¡17¡¡¡¡ than responding with love to the cry for ¡¡¡¡18¡¡¡¡ from those who are near and ¡¡¡¡19¡¡¡¡ to us, because there may be no ¡¡¡¡20¡¡¡¡ at all as in the case of the little boy£®
¡¡¡¡As my wife greeted me one evening, her voice came through the door,¡°Guess what?¡±
¡¡¡¡I always take a deep ¡¡¡¡1¡¡¡¡ on this very leading question£®¡°What?¡±I asked£®
¡¡¡¡¡°I just won a sales contest at work and the ¡¡¡¡2¡¡¡¡ is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front!¡±
¡¡¡¡She was so ¡¡¡¡3¡¡¡¡£®We knew the restaurant was extremely good£®¡°See?I told you there would be a ¡¡¡¡4¡¡¡¡ for me to wear my new spring outfit,¡±she shyly reminded me£®
¡¡¡¡¡°¡¡¡¡5¡¡¡¡ can play at that game,¡±I responded£®¡°I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino imported straw hat and a new silk tie£®We will be well ¡¡¡¡6¡¡¡¡£®¡±
¡¡¡¡It was early ¡¡¡¡7¡¡¡¡ and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n)¡¡¡¡8¡¡¡¡ of the river£®And the table was ¡¡¡¡9¡¡¡¡ set, with a smoke-gray tablecloth and bright colored napkins£®
¡¡¡¡A delicious meal ¡¡¡¡10¡¡¡¡ in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time£®As it ¡¡¡¡11¡¡¡¡, this will probably never be forgotten£®
¡¡¡¡As the shadows lengthened, the ¡¡¡¡12¡¡¡¡ rocking by the riverbank, I murmured,¡°Why not take a walk?¡±
¡¡¡¡Hand in hand, we walked by the stores£®People smiled and nodded£®¡°I ¡¡¡¡13¡¡¡¡ realized there were so many ¡¡¡¡14¡¡¡¡ people as we have seen this evening, dear,¡±I observed£®
¡¡¡¡¡°Probably your new straw hat or your ¡¡¡¡15¡¡¡¡,¡±she said£®
¡¡¡¡After receiving many smiles, we ¡¡¡¡16¡¡¡¡ ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the ¡¡¡¡17¡¡¡¡£®It was then that I saw the ¡¡¡¡18¡¡¡¡ for all the smiles£®
¡¡¡¡Caught in the fly of my trousers and ¡¡¡¡19¡¡¡¡ down for all to see was a bright red ¡¡¡¡20¡¡¡¡ from the restaurant!
¡¡¡¡When I was a little girl, every Sunday my family of six would put on our best clothes and go to Sunday School and then church£®The ¡¡¡¡1¡¡¡¡ in elementary school would all meet together to sing songs, and then later divide into ¡¡¡¡2¡¡¡¡ based on their ages£®
¡¡¡¡One Easter Sunday, all the kids ¡¡¡¡3¡¡¡¡ with big eyes and big ¡¡¡¡4¡¡¡¡ about what the Easter Bunny(¸´»î½ÚСÍÃ)had brought£®¡¡¡¡5¡¡¡¡ all of the kids shared their stories with ¡¡¡¡6¡¡¡¡, one young boy , whom I shall call Bobby, sat ¡¡¡¡7¡¡¡¡£®One of the teachers , noticing this, said to him, ¡°And what did the Easter Bunny ¡¡¡¡8¡¡¡¡ you?¡±He replied, ¡°My mom ¡¡¡¡9¡¡¡¡ the door by accident so the Easter Bunny couldn't get ¡¡¡¡10¡¡¡¡ because he hadn't got a key£®¡±
¡¡¡¡This sounded like a ¡¡¡¡11¡¡¡¡ idea to all of us kids, so we kept on going with the stories£®My mom knew the true story, ¡¡¡¡12¡¡¡¡£®Bobby's mom was a single parent , and she suspected(»³ÒÉ)that they just couldn't ¡¡¡¡13¡¡¡¡ the Easter Bunny£®
¡¡¡¡After Sunday School was over, everyone went off to ¡¡¡¡14¡¡¡¡£®But my mom announced that we were going home ¡¡¡¡15¡¡¡¡£®At home, she explained that to make Bobby feel ¡¡¡¡16¡¡¡¡, we were going to pretend(¼Ù×°)to be the Easter Bunny , make a basket of our candies for him and ¡¡¡¡17¡¡¡¡ it at church£®We all donated(¾èÔù)some to the basket, and ¡¡¡¡18¡¡¡¡ back to church£®There, mom hung the basket over the hanger(¹Ò¹³)and attached(¸½ÉÏ)a(n)¡¡¡¡19¡¡¡¡£º
