One day Jack broke his mother’s mirror. When she saw the broken___41___ she cried. “Jack, you are too careless and because of that, father is going to punish you.”
“I’m too angry to ___42___ him a beating now,” said Jack’s father as he examined the broken mirror, “I’ll do it after supper.”
When supper was over, his father took ___43____ to the garden. “I’m going to ___44___ a branch that is just the right size,” he said. They looked everywhere but found___45___.
Then Jack had ___46___. “Father, I think your walking stick will be just __47____.”
“Yes, that’s a good idea. Now come along to my room and we’ll try it.”
Up in his room Jack’s father took ___48___ his coat. Jack was __49____. But to Jack’s great surprise, his father turned to his bed and hit it again and again with the walking stick. He hit it like this for a while and then stopped. “Well, I think that’s enough,” said his father. “You must be careful in future. You will be a good boy, won’t you?” Jack __50____ he would be and never forget it because it was such an unusual punishment.

One day, Jack threw some papers on my desk. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “Next time you want to change anything, ask me first,” he said, and left. I had made just one small change. But it’s not that I hadn’t been warned. My colleagues had said he was responsible for the resignations of the two previous secretaries. As the weeks went by, I came to look down on Jack.

         After another of his episodes had left me in tears I stormed into his office. “what?” he said suddenly. “Jack, the way you’ve been treating me is wrong. I’ve never had anyone speak to me that way. As a professional, it’s wrong for me to allow it to continue,” I said. Jack smiled nervously, “Susan, I make you a promise that I will be a friend. I will treat you as you deserve to be treated, with respect and kindness.”

        Jack avoided me the rest of the week, and never questioned my work again. I brought cookies to the office one day and left some on his desk. Another day I left a note: ”Hope your day is going great. ” Over the next few weeks, there were no more Jack episodes. One year later

I discovered I had breast cancer, and was scared. The statistics were not great for my long-term survival.

         One day, however, Jack visited me in the hospital and silently handed me a bundle with several bulbs inside. “Tulips(郁金香),” he said. I smiled, not understanding. “If you plant them when you get home, they’ll come up next spring. I think you will be there to see them when they come up. Next spring you will see the colours I picked out for you.” Tears clouded my eyes and he left. I have seen those red and white striped（有条纹的） tulips push through the soil every spring for over ten years now. This past September the doctor declared me cured. At a moment when I was praying for just the right word, a man with very few words said all the right things. After all, that’s what friends do.
