Larry seemed always silent and didn't have any friend. His teacher Mr. Brown 1 this. One day, he asked Larry to meet him after class. Mr. Brown said, "I see that you don't talk to anyone or show any 2 in anything. What's wrong?" Larry replied, "Sir, I have a very 3 life. I have to face some very sad incidents and I keep 4 them. Because of this, I can't focus my attention on anything and don't even feel like talking to 5. "
Mr. Brown listened carefully, thought for a while and said, "Would you like some lemonade（柠檬汽水）?"Larry felt a little 6and nervously replied, "Yes, thank you!"
While 7lemonade, Mr. Brown added more salt on purpose and kept the quantity of sugar low. Larry made a8 face as soon as he drank a sip of that lemonade. Seeing this, Mr. Brown asked "You don't like it?""
"Um… it's just there is a bit too much 9 in it, "Larry answered.
Mr. Brown stopped him, "Oh, it doesn't matter. I will throw it away. "As the teacher was lifting the glass to 10, Larry stopped him and said, "Sir, please don't throw it away.11 we put a little more sugar in the lemonade, it will be fine to drink. "
Hearing this, Mr. Brown said12, "This is what I want to hear from you. To improve the13 of lemonade, we don't need to remove the salt from it, we can just add some sugar to it. Similarly, we cannot remove sad things that have 14 happened to us, but we can add sweetness of good experiences in our life. If you keep on crying about your15 neither your present will be right nor the future will be bright. "
Larry realized his problem and promised to live a positive life.
