I still remember the last time when two of my children and I went to the playground. It had rained during the night and the playground was very muddy (泥泞的). They had just put on clean clothes, so I was a little worried about the pools of water on the playground. It was not long before Kathy got her beautiful skirt dirty on the playground. She dug through the rocks. I was about to blame her for getting her clothes dirty when she ran towards me with a smile on her face. When she got to me, she handed me a little heart-shaped rock and said, “Here Mom! Here is a heart for you－just because I love you! Keep it!” with tears in my eyes, I thanked her.
Should I blame her for getting her clothes muddy? No way! I still have that little heart-shaped rock. It is one of the best gifts that I have ever received. I realize that many times it is not necessary for us adults to worry about the small things our children do. Let them do what they’d like to.
I will spend a lot more time on the playground with my children. I’m sure I will learn a lot from the children. It reminds me of some years ago when my grandfather told me, “You would not enter the kingdom (王国) of happiness until you pretended (假装) to be a small child.”

Once there was a king who told some of his people to dig a pond (池子).The king then told his people that one person   16  each family had to bring a glass of milk during the night and put it into the pond. So, by the morning, the pond should be   17 of milk.
After   18  the order, everyone went home. As one man prepared his milk, he thought that since everyone was bringing milk, he would just   19  a glass of water and put that into the pond instead.   20  it was dark at night, no one would notice it, so he quickly went and put the water into the pond and   21  home.
In the morning, the king went to visit the pond. To his  22 , the pond was only filled with water! What happened? Yes! Everyone had the same idea   23  that man. They all thought, “I don’t have to waste my milk. Someone else will do it.”
Dear friends, when you plan to help poor people or people in trouble, do not think that   24  will take care of it. Instead, it starts with you. If you don’t do it, no one else will, so change yourself and make a   25  .
