A father was sitting at his desk and looking at bills(账单) when his young son ran in and said, “Dad, today is your birthday and you’re 40 years old,    1   I’m going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!” When the boy    2   kissing him, the father shouted, “Andrew, don’t do this right now. I’m too    3  !”
The boy stood there and tears (眼泪)    4   from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said, “You can do it later.”
The boy said nothing but walked away    5  . That evening the father said, “Come and     6    the kisses now, Andrew!” But the boy didn’t.
Unfortunately, a few days after the father’s birthday, the boy had a(n)    7   and died(死). His sad father wrote, “If only I could tell him how sorry I am for words, and how    8   my heart is hurting.”
Love is a two-way street. We must warmly accept(接受) any loving act, or others will regard it     9   a “no” and it can leave a scar(伤痕). If we don’t get love, our life will have no meaning. Nothing is more important than    10   love from those who are near and dear to us.
