I ran into a stranger as he passed by, and I at once apologized to him. We were both very _36_, he stranger and I. Then we went 37 our way after saying good-bye.
But at home a 38 story is told. Later that day, when I 39 supper in the kitchen, my daughter suddenly stood behind me very 40 . When I turned back, I 41 knocked her down. “Don’t be in my 42 !” I shouted angrily. She walked away with her little heart 43 .On the kitchen floor later, I found some flowers by the door.
That night, while I lay 44 in bed, a voice in my deep heart said, “While 45 with a stranger, you are so polite, but with the children you love, you are so easily _46 .Why are there some flowers by the door? Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 47 them herself, pink, yellow and your favorite blue. She stood quietly in order to give you a 48 , and you never saw the 49 in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt very 50 and now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪下) by her __51__, “Wake up, little girl, wake up,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She smiled, “Yes, because I knew you’d like them, especially the 52_ .” I said, “Daughter, I’m sorry for the way I acted today; I 53 have shouted at you that way.”
She said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you 54 .” I hugged her and said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers.”
