1 . It was the early 2000s. I stood on the corner of a street in Abu Dhabi, me and my two little boys, trying to catch a taxi, when one came to a stop in front of us.
The three of us got into the vehicle and I gave the driver the location, hardly giving him a second look. He was just the driver of the taxi. Who notices taxi drivers anyway?
As usual, the boys had hardly settled in when they began bickering(吵架) over some silly issue. Soon, it had turned into a fistfight(拳斗)between the two, with me reduced to a useless audience after vain(徒劳的)attempts at sorting it out. I finally gave up, turning to look out of the window.
“A healthy fight between brothers is a good sign. Let them be,” came a soft voice from in front of me.
I turned and met the driver ‘s eyes in the rear-view mirror(后视镜) “It’s a natural growing-up stage. Enjoy it while you can. Look at me, even if I wished for it, I cannot see my children grow up let alone fight!”he added.
That began a conversation between us. The man had left his wife and children back in Pakistan, living as he did far away in a different country in order to provide a good life for them. He had missed their first baby steps, their first words, so many significant milestones.
Suddenly, the man was no longer just a taxi driver. He was human too. He had a family to take care of, he had his good days and bad days, he had hopes and dreams.
The conversation between the taxi driver and me lasted through the duration(期间) of the ride and its effects lasted much longer for me.

3 . Parents helped us in all sides when we were very young. As we grow older, we may help them. Families can succeed in reaching goals when all family members help one another.
What makes real family members? Whoever we are, our family members are the most important in our lives. Family members support each other in many ways besides money or helping around the house. On the one hand, we can share our hopes, dreams or problems when we communicate with them. On the other hand, we can get a strong feeling of satisfaction and confidence with their help.
To build good family relationships needs a lot of efforts. Firstly, everyone in the family needs to get along well with each other and shouldn’t have conflicts. Secondly, family members should share thoughts and feelings while eating meals, traveling or working together. Thirdly, we should talk with each other about our worries and then solve them together because family members can encourage one another to set goals and achieve dreams. Finally, we are supposed to spend time listening to family members. Listening shows we care about them as much as they care about us.
In a word, family members can make us full of energy and powerful all the time.

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window.
The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “This is a crow.”

After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for third time, “What is this?” This time, the son was irritated (生气) and said to his father in a low and cold tone, “It’s a crow, a crow.”
After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?” This time his son shouted in his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, ‘It’s a crow’. Are you not able to understand this?”
A minute later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered(破旧的) diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the read it, the following words were written in the diary:
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow.

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

9 . Because of wasting some expensive gold wrapping paper, a man punished his 5-year-old daughter. Money was little and he became more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box and put it under a Christmas tree.
However, the little girl brought the gift box to her father the next morning and said, “ This is for you, daddy.”
The father was embarrassed by his earlier anger, but he got angry again when he found the box empty. He spoke to her in a serious manner, “Don’t you know young lady, when you give someone a present, there’s supposed to be something inside the package?”
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, “Oh Daddy, it is not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was full.” The father was moved. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl and he begged her to forgive his unnecessary anger.
