A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye.
One   36  , when the boy was around two, the husband saw an opened medicine bottle. It was 8:30 am and he was almost   37  for work, so he asked his wife to  38   the lid on the bottle and put it in the cupboard. Busy in the kitchen, the mother  39   forgot the matter. Seeing the bottle, the boy picked it up playfully and  40   the liquid in it. It was a medicine  41   for adults to be taken in small dosages （剂量）. When the boy fell down, the mother hurried him to a(n)  42   where he died. The mother was terrified. How could she  43  her husband?
When the heartbroken father returned and saw the dead son, he  44   his wife and said just four words. What do you think those four words were? The husband just said, “I  45   you, darling.”
The husband’s totally  46   reaction was positive. Their son could never be  47   back to life,so there was no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, this would not have happened   48  he had taken the time to put the bottle away.
The mother had also lost her only  49  . What she needed at that moment was  50   and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
Sometimes we spend time asking who is   51  , only to miss the opportunity to enjoy the  52   in human relationships we could receive by giving each other support. Why don’t we  53   someone we love for the “mistake” they didn’t make on purpose?
Treasure what you  54  , let go of all your anger,  55   to forgive, and selfishness and you will find fewer problems in the world.

Recently I had completely changed my views about life after a talk with one of my friends. He told me despite being  31  , he was happy and   32  that it was because of something he saw in Thailand.
A few years ago he was  33 feeling sad and was touring Thailand. He said right in front of his very eyes, he saw a mother 34  her child's right hand with a knife. The helpless  35 in the mother's eyes and the scream of the 36  four-year-old child still remained in his mind.
The 37 mother made the child handicapped (disabled)  38   he could go out on the streets to beg.   39 by the scene, he dropped a small piece of bread he was eating.
And almost at once, several children  40   around this small piece of bread covered with sand, 41  bits from one another. It was the 42   reaction of hunger. He then went to the nearest bakery and bought every single loaf of bread.   43  he gave out the bread to the children (mostly handicapped), he  44    cheers and bows from these  45  children. For the first time in his life, he understood  46  people could give up their 47  for a loaf of bread. He came to  48 how fortunate he was to be able to have a sound body, have a job, have a family, have the chance to  49  about food that didn't taste good, and have the many things that these people in front of him   50  dreamed of having. Perhaps life wasn't bad at all.
