He was a single father, raising a 5-year-old boy alone. He worried about his son growing up without a mother to care for him.

One day he went away on business, leaving the child alone. He was worried about the child all the way, not knowing if he had eaten. But his child always told him not to worry. He went home quickly after finishing his work.

When he got home, the child was deep asleep. He was tired out. When he was about to sleep himself, he was surprised to find an overturned bowl of noodles under the quilt. He spanked his sleeping son angrily:"Why are you so naughty, making the quilt dirty? Who will wash it?" It was the first time that he had hit his boy after his wife's death.

"I haven't," the boy explained with tears in his eyes. "This is your supper, Daddy." In order to let his father eat dinner as soon as he got home, the boy cooked two bowls of noodles: one for himself, the other one for his father. He was afraid his father's noodles would get cold, so he placed them under the quilt to keep them hot.

Hearing this, the father hugged his boy tightly without saying a word.

Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then how? Here is an example.

There was a farmer who   36   corn（玉米）all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the   37   and won the first prize.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it. The farmer   38   his seed（做种子的) corn to his neighbors.

"How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?" the reporter asked. "You know they are taking part in the   39   with you each year."

"Why, sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The   40   picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow   41   corn, cross-pollination (异花传粉) will affect the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors to grow good corn. "

The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn improves.

As a great man says, "We make a living by what we grow; we make a life by what we give." We can't   42   without food, clothes, and many other things. However, a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get,   43   by how much we can give others. Giving, instead of taking, makes us    44    from other animals.

So those who choose to live well must help others to live well and those who choose to be happy must help others to find   45   in their life.
