I could have easily gone through life without getting to know one of the most romantic feelings---love for a dog. For at least ten years my1had been suggesting that we get a dog. There were several reasons why the2came up. We had noticed that, on our block, couples with no children as a rule3one large or two small dogs. So we got one puppy (小狗)4we too had no children.
He flew into the house with the5of a Formula 1 (一级方程式赛车). In several minutes he ran over all the house,6from my shoulder onto the bed, and ended up in the7, where my wife washed him with8care. From that day on, the invisible(看不见的)9for the love of the new member of our household began at my home.
He seemed to10that at once. Most of the meals that my wife had11for him with greater care than those for me—he didn’t12look at them.
Every evening I went out walking with him. I could not know who was walking whom13one evening, when, tired from work, I14the walk. The dog was very angry and dragged me out.
Last night our dog pulled me by the ear with his teeth,15me up in my dream, and dragged me into the kitchen to make me turn off the16which had disturbed his sleep. I meekly(乖乖地)17that I had forgotten to turn off the light, but that was not18. He looked at me like a teacher at a pupil who repeatedly makes19.
Now we finally know who’s the20at home, and for twenty years we had seriously argued whether it was my wife or I.

I really hadn’t meant to yell(吼叫)at them.But that grey afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terrible mess on the floor in the kitchen.
With a tiresome report to write,I felt bothered at my desk.Suddenly, it occurred to me that my kids were at fault.A voice inside me insisted that I do something quickly.
“OK,you two here.but what an awful thing you are attempting!” shouting angrily, I made for them, while it became evident that the boy wanted no part of me.“Get away from us!” he shouted back,there being expression of support from his sister.
All of a sudden,I found the fault in myself.Quickly I shaped my hands into pincers(螃蟹螯)and crawled towards them,“Crabby(似螃蟹的)Daddy is here Ha,Ha,Ha,he likes to yell at children,and then eat them!” My son continued to keep me away,but now he was laughing and crying at the same time.My mission to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well.Still,I regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way that my children could do after.
Need I let them know how badly they were acting by blaming? This is a lesson that serves myself.It only shows just how to get rid of something(ill-feelings,responsibility)by blaming others.It’s not my “best self”.
We have to search for our “best self” when with our children.They don’t need perfect parents,but they do need parents who are always trying to get better.Here,I’m reminded of the words of a great thinker,“When a man lives with God,his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the brook…” Then,in our lifetime,couldn’t we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since,most of us consider them as the most precious in the world? And before we reach this level,what should we do when we come across various difficult cases with our children?
