A man and a woman had a son many years after they married. They had a happy family and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was four years old, an accident happened. One night the father was very tired after work, so he asked his wife to meet their son and take him home. The mother was very busy in the kitchen, and she forgot about it.
Later the boy lost his way in the street. When the mother found this, she went to look for him, but she couldn’t find him. Then she went to the police station to ask for help. She was very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband. After hearing the bad news, the father hurried to the police station. When he saw his wife, he didn’t blame(责备) her. Instead he said, “I love you, darling!”
“If I had picked him up or found this earlier, this would not have happened,” the father said to himself. He thought there was no point in blaming anyone. His wife also lost her only child. What he could give her was just understanding. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, they finally found their lost son. From then on, they became closer than before.
When something bad happens, people always spend lots of time blaming others instead of giving them support. Try to learn to forgive(原谅), and then you will find the world is much more wonderful.

He was struggling(费劲) to tie his shoes. I was struggling with whether I should help him.
I did, and he was grateful.
“Thank you,” he said.
“I’m glad I could help. I just thought it would be easier for me to reach,” I said.
He was a disabled man, and forced to look down most of the time. His arms and legs were twisted(扭曲的) terribly, and he couldn’t do what the rest of us would consider easy tasks. He always managed to look up to see how you reacted(反应) to his words, however. He had a big smile, making me feel comfortable.
I was still on my knees by his wheelchair.
“ Nice shoes,” he said.
“Thanks. No one ever complimented me on them before,” I said.
“No one has the same view of the world as I do,” he replied.
“Tell me about the world as you see it,” I said smiling.
“Most people can see if someone is comfortable with them or not in their eyes. I see it in their feet.” he said. “If people keep moving their feet, I just let them go, because I know they’re impatient with me. I don’t want to make people uncomfortable.
“What about me? I asked.
“I could see your compassion. And then you came down to my level. I was the one who was nervous.” he said. “I don’t normally have someone look me in the eye.”
“They don’t know what they’re missing,” I told him.
“My old face is nothing to brag(自夸) about.” he said.
“But that smile is so big.”
Yes, and it’s not only a big smile but an attitude.
