A young man was about to finish school.For a long time he had 1 to get a beautiful sports car.He knew his father could well 2 it, so he told him that a sports car was all he wanted.
Then on the morning of his graduation(毕业),he was called to his father's room.His father told him how 3 he was to have such a fine son, and told him how 4 he loved him.He handed his son a beautiful gift box. 5 , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible(圣经)with his name on it.Angrily, he raised his 6 to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He then 7 out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very 8 in business, and had a beautiful home and a wonderful family. 9 that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him.He had not seen him 10 that graduation day.Before he could go, he received a 11 telling him that his father had died.He had to go home immediately and take 12 of the things that his father left him.
When he began to search through his father's important papers, he saw the still new Bible, 13 as he had left it years ago.He opened the Bible and began to 14 the pages.As he was reading, a car key with a tag(标牌)dropped from the back of the Bible.On the tag was the 15 of his graduation, and the words "PAID IN FULL".Sadness and regret(悔恨)filled his heart.
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.”
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, 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 her.Then I asked, “Did you pick these flowers for me?”
She smiled, “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.”
“That’s okay.Mom.I 9 you anyway.”
I suddenly realized what a clever way it is to explain the word 10 like this:(F)ather(A)nd(M)other,(I)(L)ove(Y)ou!
