We all have three people within us. One of them is a parent, the other is an adult and the third is a child.

    The parent: when the parent in our head controls us we {#blank#}1{#/blank#} people, we tell them how to behave as our parents told us to behave. The good side of the parent is ca ring for people and passing on the traditions of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} . The bad side of the parent is giving more importance to traditions and rules than to the needs of the individual.

    The adult: the adult in our head looks carefully at information and tries to think of sensible ideas. Our adult is open-minded to new situations and to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} people and their feelings and opinions. The good side of the adult is thoughtfulness and openness to new ideas. The bad side of the adult is not making {#blank#}4{#/blank#} quickly and not giving importance to enjoyment, etc.

    An old woman had a cat. She could not run {#blank#}1{#/blank#} , and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse. She jumped and caught it. But she could not bite it, so the mouse got out of her mouth and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} .

    Then the old woman became very {#blank#}3{#/blank#} because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Don't hit your old servant. I have worked for you for so many {#blank#}4{#/blank#} , and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Don't be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young. "
