I watched quietly as my little brother was caught in the act. He sat in the corner of the living room, a 1 in one hand and my father's new book in the other.
2 my father walked into the room, my brother cowered (畏缩) slowly. He sensed that he had done something 3 . From a distance I could see that he had 4 my father's new book and scribbled (乱画) in it. Now, looking at my father in 5 , he and I both waited for his punishment.
My father 6 up his prized book, looked at it carefully, and then sat down, without saying a word. Books were 7 to him. He was a clergyman(牧师) and for him, books were 8 .What he did next was unbelievable. Instead of 9 my brother, he sat down, took the pen from 10 , and then wrote in the book himself, alongside the scribbles John had made:
John s work, 1959, age 2. How many times have I looked into your beautiful face and into your warm, alert (警觉的) eyes looking up at me? And how many times have I 11 God for the one who has now scribbled in my new book?
"Wow," I thought, "This is punishment?" The years and the books came and went. Our family experienced what all families go through and perhaps a little bit more: happiness and 12 , laughter and tears. We always knew our parents 13 us and that one of the proofs (证明) of their love was the book. From time to time we would 14 it, look at the scribbles, read my father's expression of love, and feel 15 .

The test was the final for a course. I remember waiting anxiously as my teacher Mr. Right passed out our papers one by one. It was a rather difficult test. I heard my classmates groaning, and I could tel by the groans that the scores weren’t looking good.
Mr. Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to draw attention, was my score, 55!
I lowered my head, and covered the score up quickly. A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see.“The scores were not very good, none of you passed,”Mr. Right said. “The highest score in the class was a 55.”
A 55. That’s me!
Suddenly my sad look didn’t look so bad. I had the highest score. I felt a lot better.
I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My father knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home, “How did you do in your test?”“I made a 55,”I said.
A frown(皱眉)now stood on my father’s face. I knew I had to explain immediately. “But Dad, I had the highest score in the calss,”I proudly stated. I thought that explanation would make a difference.“You failed!”my father replied.“But it’s the highest!” I insisted.“I don’t care what scores others had, but you failed. What matters is what you do!”my father firmly said.
For years, my father was always that way. It didn’t matter what others did, it only mattered what I did and that I did it excelently.
We often don’t understand the wisdom(智慧)of good parents until we ourselves stand in the parents’shoes. My father’s words have carried me throughout life.
