Ever since I was a child，my mouth has caused me trouble. I'm not a bad person；I have a 1 time learning when to stop saying bad things to others.

My mom has told me again and again，"Robert，your constant（不断的）bad words are hurting me. If you 2 to be this rude，you will get into big trouble."

 It's been a problem at school several times too when teachers have told me something I didn't want to hear. I used to feel it was my 3  to stand up for myself.

 One day in English class I was working on my homework when I heard a classmate  4 behind me. It was Nathaniel，who liked doing that as usual.

I said ever so 5 ， "Nathaniel，would you be quiet？"

Nathaniel kept saying something to himself. I quickly 6 ， "Nathaniel，shut up！"

 For the next five minutes，we threw hurtful words back and forth at each other.

"At least I don't have an ugly lazy eye like you!"I cried out.

 I knew this would make him  7  and it would hurt his feelings and shut him up.

What I said filled him with anger. He tried to 8 over my seat and catch me as he screamed，"That's it！That's it！"

9 at his reaction（反应），I sat back in my seat. I had never seen Nathaniel act like this before. Later on，we were taken to the teachers' office. There，Mr. Black，our English teacher，told us to 10 the matter. It wasn't until then that I finally found that 11 I hurt someone physically，the woulds finally heal（愈合）.But when I hurt someone with my 12 ， sometimes the pain never goes away.

 At the end of the discussion，I said  13 to Nathaniel.

 When I went back to my room，I spent some time praying（祈祷）.I began to 14 how often what I said hurt others. But I believe that as I keep asking God to help me，he'll tell me when to keep my 15 closed.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people 4 to give money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man came to see 5 things were. The boy recognized his footsteps （认出他的脚步声）and asked, “Were you the one who 6 my sign this morning? What did you write?”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a 7 way.” What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, 8 I cannot see it.”
Both the 9 told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply 10 people to help by throwing some money into the 11. The second one, however, told people that they were able to enjoy the 12 of the day, but the boy couldn't 13 he was blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn 14 this story. First, be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help them if you can. 15 , be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!
