Dear Mom and Dad,
The time is coming: I’m leaving high school, and I think you both for all your help during these 17 years. I still remember when you said, “You can be your own hero.” I’m so glad you are my parents, especially (尤其) when I hear some children say they don’t get on well with theirs. I’m glad that you support (支持) me when I decide to do anything. You always try to help, and that’s important to me.
Dad, I remember when you first took me fishing. I never caught anything but I did love enjoy it. I also remember when you would get angry (发火) with me. I understand you were only trying to show me the right way. When I would cry, you would always be there to try to make me full of hope. That’s what I call a good, loving, caring dad. Sometimes you and Mom don’t agree with me, but you are there by my side in anything that I do, and that’s why I love you both so much.
Mom, I enjoy going out with you and having our happy time every Friday night. And I hope that never changes. I love telling you everything. The best part about you is that you listen. I’m glad we do a lot of things together. You love to have fun, and Dad does, too. You always give me your ideas and I listen. Thank you for bringing me up.
Love always,

One midnight, a little girl woke up to pass water. She by herself got up and down her bed, walked to the bedroom door and opened it. She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the hall that she feared.
Her mother said, “Don’t be afraid, honey. Take courage!”
“What’s courage?” she asked, running to her mother’s bed.
“Courage is the brave breath,” her mother answered.
“Mum, do you have courage?”
“Certainly.”
The girl held out her little hands, saying, “Mum, blow some of your breath of courage to me.”
After her mother blew out two mouthfuls of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl clenched her fists(握拳) nervously, afraid that the “breath of courage” would run away. Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.
Her mother said to herself, “It will be nice if someone can blow some kind of ‘breath’ to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel terrified or lost.”
