The other day I decided to teach my son about the power of small acts of kindness. He had won some lollies(棒棒糖) in a prize machine in the local supermarket, so I asked him if he would like to   46  his prizes with another child. He hesitated(犹豫) for a while because he is a(n)   47  boy, but said yes after I   48  him a bit.
A father and his daughter were   49 . I approached the father and asked if my son could give his   50  a lolly that he had won. The father looked at me in   51  and was unsure what to say. I   52  explained that I was teaching my son about the power of kindness. Eventually he said it was okay.
  53 , his daughter, who was looking at us sideways(侧向一边地),   54  accept the lolly! At this moment, my son was rather embarrassed(尴尬) and then he   55  to me, “We go to the same   56 , Mum.”
Rather than say sorry to my son for embarrassing him and give up this   57 , I put a couple of lollies into their shopping bags and   58  them a great day!
When we left the supermarket, I   59  to my son, “People in the world today are not so open to   60  because their thoughts and opinions have been   61  by the past. However, we can reshape their opinions by   62  small acts of kindness. So don’t be embarrassed. Hey, they may have been standoffish(冷淡的), but I’m sure we left them   63 , moved and inspired in some way. Not only that,   64  the young girl will probably remember you as the boy with a   65  heart when she comes across you at school!”

I'm writing this letter slowly because I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happened within 20 miles from our home, so we moved.
I won't be able to send you the address because the last family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so that they wouldn't have to change their address. This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure it works so well though: last week I put a load in and pulled the chain (拉链) and haven't seen them since. The weather isn't bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first time for three days and the second time for four days. About that coat you wanted me to send you, your uncle Stanley said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.
John locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your father out. Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven't found out what it is yet. The baby looks just like your brother.
Uncle Ted fell in a whiskey vat(桶)last week. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off playfully and drowned. We had him cremated(焚化)and he burned for three days.
Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pick-up trunk. Ralph was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. You other two friends were in back. They drowned because they couldn't get the tail gate down.
There isn't much more news at this time. Nothing much has happened.
Love,
Mom
P.S. I was going to send you some money but the envelope was already sealed.

There’s a guy like me in every state and federal prison in AmericaI guess—I’m the guy who can get these for youcigarettesa bag of cigarif you want thata bottle of wine to celebrate your son or daughter’s high school graduationor almost anything else...within reasonthat isIt wasn’t always that way

I came to Shawshank when I was just twentyand I am one of the few people in the prison who is willing to admit what he didI committed murderI put a large insurance policy on my wifewho was three years older than 1 wasand then I fixed the brakes of the car her father had given us as a wedding presentIt worked out exactly as I had plannedexcept I hadn’t planned on her stopping to pick up the neighbour woman and the woman’s son on the way down Castle Hill and into townThe brakes let go and the car crashed through the bushesgathering speedBystanders said it must have been doing fifty or better when it hit the base of the Civil War statue in the town arid burst into flames

I also hadn’t planned on getting caughtbut caught 1 wasI got a pass into this placeMy state has no death penalty(死刑)but I was tried for all three deaths and given three life sentencesto run one after the otherThat fixed up any chance of parole(假释)I might havefor a longlong timeThe judge called what I had done‘an extremely evil crime’, and it was ,but it is also in the past now

Have I transformed myselfyou ask ?I don’t know what that word meansat least as far as prisons and corrections goI think it’s a politician’s wordIt may have some other meaningand it may be that 1 will have a chance to find outbut that is the future...

I was younggood—lookingand from the poor side of townI met a prettyheadstrong girl who lived in one of the fine old houses on Carbine StreetShe got pregnant laterHer father was agreeable to the marriage if 1 would take a job in the company he owned and ‘work my way up’I found out that what he really had in mind was keeping me in his house and under his thumblike a disagreeable pet that has not quite been housebroken and which may biteEnough hate eventually piled up to cause me to do what I did

?? Given a second chance 1 would not do it againbut I'm not sure that means I am transformed
