On my way home I knocked into a stranger as he passed by．“Oh．I'm terribly sorry, ” I said．“That's all right．Please excuse me too．I wasn't even 1 you．I wish I didn't hurt you, ” said the man．
We were very 2 ．We said good-bye and went on our way．
But at home we often 3 our loved ones in a different way．
Later that day, while I was cooking the evening meal, my daughter stood beside me very quietly．When I turned around, I nearly 4 her down．“Move out of the way, ” I shouted．She walked away, tears(眼泪)in her eyes．
While I lay awake in bed, I realized how 5 I'd spoken．So I decided to get up to say sorry to my daughter．On the way to her bedroom, to my surprise, I found some 6 by the door of the kitchen．At that time my tears began to fall．I quietly went and got down on my knees by her 7 ．She woke up and put her arms around my neck when I kissed(接吻)her．Then I asked, “Did you pick these flowers for me? ”
She smiled and said, “I found them out by the tree．I picked them 8 they're pretty like you．I knew you'd like them．I stood quietly in order to give you a surprise．” “Oh dear, I'm really sorry for the way I acted today．I shouldn't have shouted at you, ” I said．
“That's OK, Mom．I 9 you anyway, ” she said．
I suddenly realized what a clever way it is to explain the word 10 like this：Father And Mother, I Love You!
