    The other frog just kept on jumping harder than ever9all the shouts. They kept shouting at him to stop being so10and save himself from all the pain（疼、痛）when he jumped and fell back down to the hard bottom again and again.

    A man got a new car and he was very proud of it. One day, when he came back home, he saw his three-year-old son happily hitting the new car with a toy 1. He broke off the paint on the car. The man was so 2 that he ran to his son, took away his hammer (锤子) from him, and used the hammer to hit the boy's 3 as hard as he could for punishment. The poor boy cried 4 but his father didn't care at all.

    When the boy 7 in the hospital and saw his hands, he innocently (天真地) said, "Daddy, I'm sorry about your car." Then he asked, "But when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father felt very sad and regretted this very much.
