When I was small, my mom used to give the family a funny special treat from time to time.
One evening, my mom     a plate of eggs, sausage and very burnt toast in front of my dad. But my dad just took his toast,     at my mom and asked me how my   at school had been. ①I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember    him put butter and jelly (果冻甜品）on that toast. He ate it up as usual, every single bite！
After dinner, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for     the toasts. And I will never    what he said, "Honey，I love burned toasts."
Later that night, I went to kiss daddy good night and I asked him     he really liked his toasts burned. He     me in his arms and said, "Your mommy worked very hard today and she is really    . And besides, a bit of burnt toast never     anyone!"
Life is full of imperfect things. Nobody is     either. I'm not the best at anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries (周年纪念）just like everyone else, but I have     something important over the years. We need to accept each other's    . We need to tolerate each other's differences. These two things are the keys to     a healthy, growing and lasting relationship.
This rule     any relationship-friends, family, workmates, the people you meet on the bus.     is the basis of everything, whether between a husband and wife，a parent and child or just between two friends.
Don't put the key to your     in someone else's pocket.     it in your own. And don't get     if the toast gets burnt. Remember, burnt toast never hurt anyone. ② It's the kind thoughts that     , and the people with those kind thoughts who make life worth living.
