A principal decided to honor the teachers in his school to show his appreciation(感激)for their hard work.He told them how they made a difference in their jobs.Then he gave each of them a blue ribbon(缎带)that read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference.”
One of the teachers wanted to take this idea into her students.One day the teacher noticed that a boy in her class was unhappy.She went to him and asked him the reason.The boy told her that his father had been worrying about the job and often punished him for some little things.Hearing what he said, the teacher decided to give him the ribbon to cheer him up.She said, “Dear boy, what your father has done doesn’t mean the lack(缺少)of love for you.He needs your understanding.You’ve been a kind boy.Here’s a ribbon for you.Would you like to take this ribbon and pass it on? Let’s keep this ceremony going and find out how it affects people.”
That night the boy sat beside his father and said, “Dad, today my teacher gave me a blue ribbon for being kind and asked me to find somebody else to honor.I’d like to give the ribbon to you.I want to let you know how deeply I admire you and how much you mean to me.I love you!”
