　　There is a story told about how Neil set about winning over one particular boy．The boy was always causing trouble and clearly regarded all teachers 　　1　　 a hostile eye．On one occasion, Neil, out taking a 　　2　　, had just rounded a corner when he came across the boy playing on his own．The boy, not noticing he was no longer 　　3　　, picked up a stone and threw it through one of the school windows．Turning, he saw Neil．Instead of finding himself 　　4　　 at angrily as he expected, the boy was 　　5　　 to see Neil bend down, pick up a stone and hurl it at another window．The boy had to 　　6　　 to get the window repaired, so did Neil．　　7　　 he thought this a small price to pay for 　　8　　 a bond between himself and the boy, whose 　　9　　 improved afterwards．

　　Neil was a remarkable character who knew just when to be 　　10　　 and just when to adopt a lighter touch when handling children．Not everyone is so 　　11　　．Willie Russell, the 　　12　　, likes to talk about the time when he had freshly 　　13　　 from teacher training college and had just begun to work as a teacher．On his first day at the school he was left to do playground duty on his own, rather a(n)　　14　　 experience for one so new to the job．Surrounded by children at morning break, he turned to see one of the children throwing a stone at a school window．When the boy saw that he had been 　　15　　 by a teacher, his face fell．　　16　　 for this boy, Russell remembered the story about Neil．Stooping down he picked up a stone and propelled(投掷)it through another window．Turning to smile proudly at the boy his satisfaction was suddenly shattered by the sound of dozens of windows being 　　17　　 by flying stones．

　　Unfortunately he had failed to take into account the difference between his 　　18　　 and the one which Neil had faced, namely that he and the boy were not alone．It was at this point in his career that Russell decided that perhaps he was not quite cut out to be a teacher．Deciding after this that he was not suited to teaching he left to 　　19　　 playwriting．Most of his plays are very imaginative and 　　20　　．A bit like this story, in fact．

　　Recently I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport．They had announced the 　　1　　．Standing near the security gate, they 　　2　　 and the mother said“I love you and I wish you enough．”The daughter replied,“Mom, our life together has been 　　3　　 enough．Your love is all I 　　4　　 needed．I wish you enough, too, Mom．”They kissed and the daughter left．The mother walked 　　5　　 to the window where I was seated．Standing there I could 　　6　　 she wanted and needed to cry．I tried not to intrude(侵犯)on her 　　7　　 but she welcomed me in by asking“Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be 　　8　　?”

　　“Yes, I have．”I replied．“Forgive me for asking 　　9　　 why is this a forever good-bye?”“I am old and she lives so far away．I have challenges ahead and the 　　10　　 is－the next trip back will be for my 　　11　　．”She said．

　　“When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say‘I wish you enough’．May I ask what that means?”she began to smile．“That's a wish that has been handed down from other 　　12　　．My parents used to say it to everyone”．She 　　13　　 a moment and looked up as if trying to remember 　　14　　 in detail and she smiled even more．“When we said‘I wish you enough’we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to 　　15　　 their life”．

　　Then turning toward me she 　　16　　 the following as if she were reciting it from memory．

　　I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright．I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more．I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive．I wish you enough pain 　　17　　 the smallest joys in life appear much 　　18　　．I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting．I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess．I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final 　　19　　．

　　She then began to cry and walked away．They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to 　　20　　 them．
