　　I would try to understand my children．I often did what my 　　4　　 would have done．I 　　5　　 their ways of raising children．For example, I had my 13-year-old son, David, come home early, but he hated this rule．He saw no reason for it．　　6　　 a girl, I had to be home early．I wanted my son to do the 　　7　　 thing．Now I would think more about why I wanted things done in a certain way．

　　My father was sick when I was young．So my sister, my brother and I were 　　8　　 all the time．We did not cry in anger and we didn’t laugh for 　　9　　．I just wanted my children to be quiet, too．I never stopped 　　10　　“Why”．

　　It was hard for me to let my children show anger．I 　　11　　 them when they started to get angry．Now I would tell my children,“It is all right to show love and it is all right to show anger．Your feelings are good．I love you no matter 　　12　　 you feel．”

　　On a cold November afternoon, my mother and I were walking back home from a pizza store．We had bought many things．We were dressed 　　1　　, and I was feeling a little 　　2　　 as I was carrying our shopping, so I decided to throw something away．I was walking towards a dustbin(垃圾箱)　　3　　 I noticed a poor man walking out of the restaurant in front of us．He headed over to the nearby dustbin and started looking through it．

　　I suddenly felt very 　　4　　 because I was about to throw away a new drink just because it was too heavy．I walked up to him and handed the 　　5　　 and some bread over to him．The man looked up 　　6　　 and took what I gave him．A huge smile 　　7　　 on his face．I felt I couldn’t be happier with 　　8　　．But then he said,“Wow, this is my son’s lucky day!”

　　With that, he thanked me happily and started off on his bike．I 　　9　　 heard him singing as he rode away．I got a warm 　　10　　 inside．I now understand what it 　　11　　 by the saying “Giving is getting”．

　　　　12　　 it was only a little action, I got and learned more in those two minutes than I did in the rest of the month．Everyone in the world 　　13　　 help．Everyone can give help and everyone will be helped by showing kindness．

　　The scene of that man’s happiness caused by my small gift appears in my mind 　　14　　 I have the chance to do something nice．This is the power(力量)of 　　15　　．
