Peter was getting ready to graduate from the college. He loved a beautiful sports car for many months, and knew his father could well afford it for him. He told his father all that he wanted.
As the graduation day was coming near, Peter had got nothing from his father. On the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his study. He told his son how proud he was to have such a good son, and told how much he loved him. Then he gave his son a beautiful gift box. He opened the box, finding a lovely book, a Bible(圣經(jīng)), with the young man’s name in it. Angrily he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then ran out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years later, Peter was very successful in business. He had a beautiful house and a wonderful family. Realizing his father was old, he thought he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Unfortunately, he was told that his father had died.
When he reached his father’s house, he began to take care of his father’s papers. And then he found the Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened it and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, from the back of the Bible dropped a car key. That was the key to the sports car he wanted so much. Sudden sadness and regret (悔恨)filled his heart.
Sometimes we don’t realize the good luck that we already have because we don’t know the gift box is packed in a different way. The gift box may be the door to happiness. It is just waiting for us to open.

　　A young man was getting ready to graduate from the college. He loved a beautiful sports car for many months, and knew his father could well afford it for him. He told his father that was all he wanted.

　　As the graduation day was coming near, the young man had got nothing from his father. On the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his study (書房). He told his son how proud he was to have such a good son, and told him how much he loved him. Then he gave his son a beautiful gift box. The young man opened the box and found a lovely book, a Bible, with the young man's name in it. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you gave me a Bible?” He then ran out of the house, leaving the Bible.

　　Many years later, the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful house and a wonderful family. Realizing his father was old, he thought he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Unfortunately, he was told that his father had died.

With tears, he opened it and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, from the back of the Bible dropped a car key. That was the key to the sports car he wanted so much. Suddenly sadness and regret (悔恨) filled his heart.

I watched quietly as my little brother was caught in the act. He sat in the corner of the living room, a 　41 in one hand and my father's new book in the other.

　 　42 my father walked into the room, my brother cowered (畏縮) slowly. He sensed that he had done something 　43　 . From a distance I could see that he had 　44 my father's new book and scribbled (亂畫) in it. Now, looking at my father in 45　 , he and I both waited for his punishment.

　 My father 　46　 up his prized book, looked at it carefully, and then sat down, without saying a word. Books were 　47 to him. He was a clergyman（牧師） and for him, books were 　48 .What he did next was unbelievable. Instead of 　49 my brother, he sat down, took the pen from 　50 , and then wrote in the book himself, alongside the scribbles John had made:

John s work, 1959, age 2. How many times have I looked into your beautiful face and into your warm, alert (警覺的) eyes looking up at me? And how many times have I 51 God for the one who has now scribbled in my new book?

　 "Wow," I thought, "This is punishment?" The years and the books came and went. Our family experienced what all families go through and perhaps a little bit more: happiness and 　52　 , laughter and tears. We always knew our parents 　53 us and that one of the proofs (證明) of their love was the book. From time to time we would 　54 it, look at the scribbles, read my father's expression of love, and feel 　55　 .
