A strange thing happened to me last Sunday. It was such a beautiful day that I decided to go for a  11  in the country. On the way back home，my car stopped. It was out of  12  on a lonely   road far from a town. I decided to walk until I found someone who could  13  me a gallon（加仑） or two of petrol. I had  14  almost a mile before I finally found a big house near the road. I was           15  to see it because it was starting to get dark. I  16  at the door and a little old lady with long white hair answered. She said, “I have been  17  for you a long time. Come in. Tea is almost ready.”

“But I only came for some petrol.” I answered. I couldn’t  18  what she was talking about.

“Oh, Alfred! Petrol? You used to  19  tea.”

I quickly  20  that I needed some petrol, but she didn’t seem to hear me. She just kept calling me Alfred and talking about how long it had been since she had seen me. She was acting very strangely and I was  21  to leave. As soon as she went to get tea, I went out of the house as fast as I could.  22  , there was another house down the road and I was able to buy several gallons of petrol. When I told the man about my  23 . He said,“Oh, that is Miss Emily. She lives by herself in that big house. She’s  24  but she wouldn’t hurt anyone. She is still waiting for the man she was supposed to marry thirty years ago. The day before their  25  he left home and never came back because of the war.”

A school teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few    16  . Each tomato will be given a name of a person that the child    17  , so the number of tomatoes that a child will put in the plastic bag will depend on the number of people the child hates.

So when the day came, every    18   brought some tomatoes. Some had two; some three while some up to five tomatoes. The teacher then told the children to    19   with them the tomatoes in the plastic    20   wherever they go.

Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the    21   smell let out by the rotten tomatoes. Besides, those having more tomatoes had to carry    22   bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended.

The teacher asked: “How did you    23   while carrying the tomatoes with you for 1     24  ?”

The children let out their frustrations and started    25   of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and    26  tomatoes wherever they go.

Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the    27  .

“This is exactly the    28   when you carry your hatred(憎恨) for somebody inside your heart. The unpleasant smell of hatred will pollute your    29   and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten tomatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the smell of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?”

So    30   others is that best attitude to take!

Shaping a child is like shaping clay（粘土）— you have to start from the beginning and work your way to the end with extreme caution but with gentle and loving   16 . However, unlike clay, you don’t get a second   17  with a child. You can put all the clay back together and start again but with a child, what is done is done.   18  it’s even more caution with care.

Building a child’s esteem is no small play; it makes your black hair   19 , steals away years of your life and still will not look done. Therefore you have to learn how to build self-esteem and   20  your child from the beginning. After all, parenting begins from babyhood.

Small case could leave large   21  on your child’s mind. Reason why you should not overlook something that went wrong. If another child   22  your kid, everyone laughed and you told your son to   23  it, that’s the first wrong step. You have to teach your child to   24  up for himself. Don’t let your child fall down inside. Tell him to ask the child why he is hitting him or   25  to the nearest adult he can reach.

Most of all before you speak to a child you have to be a   26  example. If you go around laughing at people, your kids will do the   27 . If you are a coward（懦夫）yourself and do not stand up to situations, do not   28  your child not to follow you. Children are like monkeys—they copy every   29 , from how you eat to how you handle situations.

Building self-esteem begins at home. Small self-confident acts make a(n)   30  impact on your child.
