Love is a two-way street

A father sat at his desk and looked at his bills when his young son rushed in and announced: “ Dad, because today is your birthday and you’re 40 years old, I’m going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!” When the boy started making good on his word（履行諾言），the father shouted: “ Andrew, don’t do it now. I’m too busy!”

The boy soon fell silent as tears fell from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said: “ You can finish later.” The boy said nothing but walked away. That evening the father said: “ Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!”

Unfortunately, a few days later after the father’s birthday, the boy had an accident and died. His father wrote: “ If only（要是··· ···,該多好）I could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words, and how much my heart is hurting.”

Love is a two-way street. We must warmly accept any loving act, or others will take it as a “NO” and it can leave a scar（傷疤）. If we don’t receive love, our life will lose its true meaning. Nothing is more important than accepting love from those who are near and dear to us.

Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors (家庭教師), cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教的) school.

After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread (鋪開(kāi)) out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.

Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity (好奇心). She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns (修女)?”

Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No. ”

“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”
