One day, I walked into a stranger (陌生人) as he walked by me. "Oh, excuse me." I said. He saida smile, too. "Please excuse me, too. I wasn't watching out for you." We apologized (道歉) and went our own ways.
Later that day, when I was cooking, my daughter was standing too close to me. When I reached for some milk, I nearly knocked (撞)(she) over. "Move out of the way." I shouted. She walked away sadly. But I didn't feel like (say) sorry to her.
While I was in bed that evening, my husband said to me, "Dealing withstranger, you were polite (礼貌的), but with a daughter you love, you were unkind. Your daughter (bring) you some flowers that she picked for you this afternoon. You'll find them in the kitchen by the door. Have you seen the tears in her eyes?"
I(quiet) went in and put myself down by my (daughter) bed. "Honey, I am so sorry." I said, "Are these the flowers you picked for me? She said, "I found them by the tree. I picked them they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like them, especially the (three) blue one." I tearfully replied, "Sweetie, I'm really sorry for the way I acted today. I shouldn't have shouted at you." "It's okay. I love you anyway." she said as she kissed me on my cheek.
If we can be polite to a stranger, why can't we be kind to the ones we love? I come to understand that (important) thing in life is the love between people.
