One day, Sally got into a fight with one of her classmates. Then she went home and told her mother her story. “I don't want to make friends with Alice any more. She is too bad, I hate her.” The girl said1.
The mother listened to Sally carefully, then she said in a soft voice, “My dear, let me tell you a story of 2. When I was young, it was 3 for me to be angry. As a result, it just made me feel 4. Do you know why?”
Sally looked at her mother's eyes and shook(摇) her head.
The mother5explaining, “6 nobody wants to make friends with people who get angry easily. I realize I must learn to 7myself. I tell myself to count from 1 to 10 every time I get angry. I try my best to get on with 8around me. And I find it happy for me to do nice things for people. I make a lot of good friends.”
“Mom, I'm wrong.9should I do?” Sally asked.
“I guess you could tell her to say sorry so that you can be friends again.” replied the mother.
“Thanks for your 10.” Sally said happily.
