My six-year-old boy Jonathan broke a
limb of my azalea (杜鹃花) bush and asked me, "Can I take
this to school today, mom"?With a wave of my
hand, I sent him off.
And then I turned my back so he couldn't see the tears in my eyes.
I was in low
spirits all day, washing and drying
clothes, and thinking how
love had disappeared from my life. As hanging up the last of my husband's
shirts, I looked at the
clock-4:30.Jonathan's
class ended at 3:15. It was late
and I hurriedly drove to the school.
I was out of
breath by the time I knocked on the teacher's door. I peered through the glass.
She opened the door and let me in.
"I want to
talk to you about Jonathan," she said. I
prepared myself for the worst. Nothing would have surprised me. "Did you
know Jonathan brought flowers to school today?" she asked.
I nodded, thinking about my
favorite bush and trying to hide the hurt in my eyes.
"Let me tell
you what happened yesterday," the teacher
continued. "See that little girl?" I saw a
bright-eyed child laugh and point to a colorful picture taped to the wall.
"Well, yesterday she was
almost crazy. Her mother and father are going through a divorce. She told me
she didn't want to live. She wished she could die. I did all I could to comfort
her, but it only seemed
to make matters worse."
"Today I
watched your son walk to that child and hand her some pretty pink flowers, whispering
something."

I knew at once
what had happened and felt my heart swell with pride.
In the evening, my husband and I
sat in the sitting room, talking about the
bush.
答案: I knew at once what had happened and felt my heart swell with pride. I smiled at the teacher. "Thank you," I said, reaching for Jonathan's hand, "You've made my day." While driving back home, I still recalled the love Jonathan showed the little girl and realized that it was what I needed to show my family members. Therefore, when my husband came back home, I snapped a small limb bristling with hot pink azaleas off the bush. I handed him the flowers. "I love you," I said. In the evening,my husband and I sat in the sitting room, talking about the bush. We used to love azaleas because they were beautiful,but on that day we knew that they could also bring hope and love to others. We decided to plant more azaleas. At this moment,Jonathan came up behind us,apologizing for pulling up our favorite azalea. With tears in my eyes, I hold him in my arms. "You did the right thing,my son," I said. "We are proud of you."
