One day, the two of us had taken a bike ride to the6. After buying an ice cream, my daughter sat down at a table7enjoying it. Suddenly a look of8came across her face. Do I have to rush, mama?

    I nearly9. Perhaps the pains of a10life didn't ever completely disappear, I thought sadly. You don't have to rush, my dear. I said11. Her whole face immediately brightened and her shoulders relaxed. Then we sat side by side talking.

    There were even moments when we sat in12, just smiling at each other. When she got to the last bite(咬最后一口), she held out the ice cream for me.

The father was5.He wondered what mistake he made so that his daughter acted in such a greedy way. He was lost in thought. Perhaps he was just thinking too much. His daughter was too6 to understand about sharing and giving. A smile disappeared from his face. Suddenly, his daughter with an apple in her left hand said, "Daddy have this one! It is much juicer and7. "Her father was speechless. He felt8 about making the judgment so quickly about a small child. But his smile9 knowing why his daughter quickly took a bite from each apple. Don't judge anything or draw a conclusion too quickly.10 spare some more time to understand things better.
