The father was sitting at his desk and looking at the bills (账单) when his little son came into the room and said, " Dad, today is your birthday and you' re 40 years old, so I' m going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!" When the boy started kissing, the father shouted. " Oh, Andrew, don' t do it now. I' m too busy!" The boy became silent and was close to tears (眼泪). Feeling sorry, the father said, " You can finish the kisses later. "
The boy said nothing and quietly walked away. That evening the father said, " Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!" However, the boy didn' t.
Unluckily, a few days later, the boy had an accident and died. His father wrote, " I really want to tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless (欠考虑的) words and how sad I am. "
Love is a two-way street. We should warmly accept the loving acts, or others will take it as a " No" and feel sad. If we don' t have love, our life will lose the true meaning.
If we think we are too busy to give and accept love, we are too silly! Nothing is more important than loving the people who are important to us.
