As a child, I had a lot of anger inside and was not good at communicating properly.
Once, as I was getting ready for school, my mother 36 handed me my father’s vest(背心) instead of mine. This was around the time that I was getting to be 37 in size than my father, and so as I 38 the vest, I felt as if I was being 39 in it! I realized that it was a small 40 on my mother’s part, but 41 the feeling of being choked controlled me and filled me with anger.
Without thinking much, I took my anger out 42 my mother. I was so 43
that she had handed me the wrong vest, that I 44 by violently tearing it apart from my chest!
Later, my mother shared her own 45 with my father: “See what your son has done.” Instead of 46 or punishing me, my father 47 responded by asking my mother to mend the vest. He then 48 it to work the next day.
My mother told me about my father’s response-much later, when I had 49 from my fit-I immediately felt a great sense of 50 for my violent behavior, just 51
that he was spending the entire day wearing a torn vest. At the same time, I was filled with great 52 for my father, whose gentle kindness taught me a life lesson I would never
53 .
On that day, I decided to never let 54 get the better of me. And 55 I hesitate, I try to remember my father’s vest.
