Weekends are normally a time for shopping and last Saturday was no exception. My son Henry and I were shopping in a neighborhood market. I gave Henry a bag of (1)
I picked out and he walked over to the scale (磅秤). Suddenly, a man rushed over from behind, and stepped before my son who (2)
for his turn. Henry looked shocked and scared. Seeing this, I left my shopping cart and walked over to Henry, "Are you OK, honey? I saw what that man did to you. It was very (3)

we got back in the car.
On the way back home, Henry said with tears in his eyes, "Mommy, I have a terrible day. That man cut right in front of me. But we had to help him pick up his onions! Why did we do that?"
I breathed (7)
and said, "Henry, that man seemed to have a very bad feeling today. We should forgive him. I was also angry with him for treating you rudely. But being angry with the people (8)
behave badly doesn't make any sense. If we hadn't helped him, we might have felt good for a moment, but then I bet we would have felt really sorry for a long time. You and I have a lot of (9)
to share. Maybe that man doesn't have much, but he still needs love."
A cheerful smile (10)
on Henry's face. It was a smile of promise kept. It was the best smile I had ever seen. It was a good moment. It may have been my best mommy moment ever.
