Question

【题目】 My little brother sat in the corner of the living room, with a pen in one hand and my father’s book in the other. As my father walked into the room, my brother knew that he did something wrong. And I just watched my brother scribble in the book. Now, he and I were both sure that my father would be very angry and we both waited for our father’s punishment.

My father picked up his book and looked at it carefully. I thought my father would hit my brother or at least shouted to us loudly. However, he was not angry and didn’t punish us, but took the pen and wrote in the book: John’s work, 1986, age 2. Then my father thanked my brother for scribbling in his book. He said my brother made the book special and meaningful. We were both surprised. But at that time we were too young to understand it.

The years came and went. We came to know what my father meant by doing so. From time to time we would open the book, look at the scribbles and read my father’s expression of love. My father taught us about what is really important in life; people are important, not the things you have. My father loved us, so he thought of the scribbles as artwork that made the book special. He taught me how to cherish and be good to everyone around us.

Now I’m a father, too. Unlike my father, I don’t wait for my daughters to take books from my book-shelf and scribble in them. I take one down and give it to them to scribble. As I look at their artwork, I think about my father and the lesson he taught me.
