A man and a woman had a son many years after they married. They had a happy family and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was four years old, an accident happened. One night the father was very tired after work, so he asked his wife to meet their son and take him home. The mother was very busy in the kitchen, and she forgot about it.
Later the boy lost his way in the street. When the mother found this, she went to look for him, but she couldn’t find him. Then she went to the police station to ask for help. She was very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband. After hearing the bad news, the father hurried to the police station. When he saw his wife, he didn’t blame(责备) her. Instead he said, “I love you, darling!”
“If I had picked him up or found this earlier, this would not have happened,” the father said to himself. He thought there was no point in blaming anyone. His wife also lost her only child. What he could give her was just understanding. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, they finally found their lost son. From then on, they became closer than before.
When something bad happens, people always spend lots of time blaming others instead of giving them support. Try to learn to forgive(原谅), and then you will find the world is much more wonderful.The father didn’t pick the boy up that day because he was________.

A young man was going to finish school. For a long time he was looking forward to getting a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well afford it, so he told him all he wanted.
Then on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box. To his surprise, the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible（圣经）with his name on it. Angrily, he said to his father “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then rushed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family. He thought he should go to see his father. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements（安排）, he received a phone telling him his father had passed away. He had to come home immediately and take care of the things that his father left him.
When he began to search through his father's important papers, he saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag（标牌） dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN FULL”. Sadness and regret filled his heart.
