Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.  Here's morning news.  Yesterday afternoon a ten-year-old school boy swallowed (吞下) a pen cap!

   The boy was daydreaming in class. Without knowing what he was doing, he put a pen cap into his mouth. A few minutes later, he was terrified to find that he had swallowed it! The teacher was shocked when the boy stood up and said, "I've just swallowed a pen cap." He was quickly sent to the nearest hospital. There a doctor examined him and said the best treatment was to give him medicine so that the pen cap could pass naturally. Three hours later the boy successfully made it.

Once there was a little boy. He got angry easily. His father gave him some nails (钉子)and told him: “When you get angry, put a nail into the wall.”
On the first day, the boy put 37 nails into the wall. The next day, he put in fewer nails. A few days later, he found it much easier not to get angry.
After a while, the boy was happy every day.
Then, his father asked him to take out a nail each day if he didn’t get angry. After some time, all the nails were gone.
Then the father took the boy to the wall and said: “Well done, son. But, look, the wall is full of holes. It will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar(伤疤) in people’s hearts（心）. No matter how many times you say sorry, the scars will always be there.”

Some time ago I received a gift from both of my children. It had nothing to do with Father’s Day. Yet, at the same time it had everything to do with Father’s Day.
My son was studying in a high school in Colorado. He lived in the school. While we were talking on the phone he shared some wonderful news with me.
He said, “You know Dad, I am really happy with my life. I can’t think of a thing that I would change about the way that I grew up, or the way that my life is now. ”
My daughter was living with her mother in Northern California at that time. She said almost the same thing to me just a few days later.
Of course, I was delighted to hear this from both of them. And I told them both  how happy I was, not only that they were happy ,but that they expressed it to me.
And that was the gift that they were giving me ---with the heart to communicate. Certainly I hope for good news when I hear from them. But mostly I love that they will share their real feelings with me. Happy or sad, I love to be touched(感动)by their real thoughts and feelings.
For a child, Father’s Day isn’t really about giving Dad a gift. It is about understanding the love that fathers express when they help put food on the table, teach their child to ride a bike, cheer at a soccer game, etc.
For a father, Father’s Day isn’t so much about receiving gifts for a job well done. Remember, the greatest gift that we give our children is the real expression of our love. It isn’t enough for them to feel love inside ourselves: we need to express that love.
