A man lived happily in a village because everyone praised him.

One day, he happened to hear some people talking about him.1 what they said made him sad. They said he was too proud. From then on, whenever he heard others2 , he thought they were saying something bad about him. He was 3 all the time. His wife noticed this and took him to a wise old man.

The wise old man said, "Stay in my house tonight. "

The man 4 . When he went to sleep at night, the croaking(呱呱叫声) of frogs fell in his 5 . A pool was behind his room. The more he wanted to ignore(忽略) the sound, the6 the frogs seemed to croak.

To the man's9 , only ten frogs were caught.

The wise old man said, "Even at night there were only ten frogs. Because you paid too much10 to the noise, you thought there were hundreds of them. It is the same in your life as well. There's no need to care too much about others' talks. Be true to yourself. "

Hi, I'm Nancy. On September 9, 2010, I was told that I had a new baby sister. I had a selfish thought at that moment—Mom and Dad are going to be with the baby all the time and buy her all kinds of toys. I will get half as much love from them as before. 

A few days later doctors told my parents that my sister had hearing problems. 

We made several trips to a famous hearing center, but the treatments didn't work, so my family began learning sign language. Actually, here my family only refer to my parents and sister, not me. My parents spent hours with my sister teaching her and themselves by playing sign language games. But I didn't want to learn with them. I did my own things every day. 

Years passed. The summer before the ninth grade, as my parents had to work, it was up to me to take care of my sister. This meant sending her to summer school in the morning, playing with her after finishing our homework and cooking delicious food for her. 

One day my mother asked me to sign something, and I failed. My mom was sad about it. This hit me hard and I came to realize how selfish I was. I needed to talk to my sister. But I couldn't even sign the easiest sentences like "Where are you going?" or "What do you want to eat?"

It was at that time that I started to go to sign language classes with my family. We sat down watching sign language movies and playing sign language games. 

Today I can communicate well with my sister. It brings a smile to my face when my sister signs something to me about my friends, and they can't understand. I realized it was no fun not knowing what my family was saying. 

So, if you have a family member with special needs, don't leave her or him alone. This person should be the first thing on your mind. For me, signing now comes before school, friends and sports, because it is the language of my family!
