Coming home after working out for a whole day I had my purse lost.I 36 it had slipped out my backpack as I was being 37 .While it was probably very close to my apartment it still failed to come into 38 and I had no 39 but to cancel my debit cards.
I’d had the purse for more than a decade as it was a Christmas present,which was a bright red leather Cheeky Monkey purse,so probably not entirely 40 for a 36-year-old but I was very upset to have lost it!
Everyone I spoke to 41 I might get the purse back 42 but the money and vouchers in there would very likely disappear.I had 43 written off the 44 of the purse and was even considering whether to move on and go “grown-up”when I was seeking a 45 .
I came home late the following night and my monkey purse was on my mat!I checked the contents and everything was 46 including anything of cash value.I was astounded when I read the 47 note which read,“I came across this last night.It was too dark to 48 it then,so I came back tonight. I got your 49 from your license.Sorry.Iain.”
Not only had this man returned my purse but he thought he 50 me an apology for not bringing it back sooner!
I have told almost all my acquaintances,who almost responded with a similar standard answer,“It restores your 51 in human nature”and it 52 lots of stories about similar 53 experiences.
There were no contact 54 so I am unable to get in touch to say thank you to Iain,but I hope he will be 55 of how grateful I am!

In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (学会) of each new skill -- the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality（准时）for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency（前后一致） is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
