A few days ago, I walked into a stranger as
he passed by. I said sorry to him, and we were very polite. Then we went on our
way after saying goodbye.
Later in the kitchen at home, as I cooked our
meal, my daughter Betty walked up to me, very quietly. When I turned around, I nearly
knocked her down. "Get out of the way!" I shouted angrily. She ran away,
crying.
That night, when I lay in bed, my husband said
to me, "You were so rude to Betty. Go and look around on the kitchen floor,
and you'll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them
herself, pink, yellow, and your favourite blue."
When I heard this, I thought deeply, "While
meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite; but with my daughter, I was not
patient (耐心的). I felt sad and tears began to fall.
I quietly went to Betty's bed, "Wake up,
my dear," I said, "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" She
smiled, "I found them by the tree. I knew you'd like them, especially the blue.
" I said, "I am so sorry that I treated (对待) you that way today. " And she whispered (悄声说), "Mommy, that's okay. I still love you anyway. " I kissed
her and said, "I love you too and I do love the flowers. "
That day Betty gave me a lesson on how to get
along with each other in the family. I spent much time on work before and didn't
realize how important family life was. I decided to do better in the future.
