This happened to me at the age of twelve. It seems like a long time to remember the name of the old lady. Yet it keeps in my ________ because she taught me a lesson in tolerance (宽容) which I shall never forget.

On a winter afternoon, after sending all the newspapers, a friend and I were ________ stones onto the wall of the old lady’s house. I found a perfectly smooth stone and threw ________ out. The stone was too smooth, so it got away from my hand and flew straight not to the wall but to the ________ of her house. At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble and ________ away as quickly as possible.

I was so ________ when I thought of getting caught by the old lady that first night. But a few days later, ________ happened. When I was sure that I wasn’t caught, I started to feel guilty for ________ I had done. Every day she ________ wore a smile on her face when I gave her the newspaper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably. I made up my mind to ________ her window glass with the money I saved by ending newspapers. I put the money in a letter ________ a note saying I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars ________ be enough to repair it.

I waited until it was dark. I went up to the old lady’s house ________ I put the letter in her door. Once again, I could have the courage of looking ________ into the old lady’s kind eyes.

The next day, I handed the old lady her newspaper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her. She thanked me and gave me a bag of cookies. Reaching for the cookies, I ________ a letter and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened it, I was surprised to see the seven dollars and a short note that said, “I’m proud of you!”

We often think about why money disappeared so quickly. That may be because we didn’t have a good budget. A budget is a plan to control where your money goes. A good budget can help you use money wisely. For example, it can help you save money for the things that you want but can’t pay for now. Have a look at the budget of Simon’s family this month and you will get a clear idea about what a budget is. The income(收入) of Simon’s family a month is RMB 6,000.
