Mother’s Day 2016 was the last time that all my three kids would be kids at home. I was_______a Mother’s Day to remember.

That morning, I got up early and left for the_______.The boys and I were going_______,so I expected the break. I entered the office after my class,_______the crowd for their faces. I didn’t find the boys, but wasn’t too worried_______their classes often ran late. I found a bench with plenty of room for all four of us,_______seats for my young men.

The longer I sat there, the more_______and angry I got. How could they_______their mother on this day? I couldn’t_______my work, only on how I’d been wronged.________the last class in the morning ended, I could hardly wait to get home and give them a piece of my mind.

Arriving home, I noticed a pile of roses on the ground. They were the________of a track made of fresh flowers, which led to our house. As I________the flowers, the door got opened and three________ faces greeted me. They let me see what they’d been working on all________.

________the entire floor were the words: “Happy Mother’s Day. We Love You.” They were spelled out with________. The whole house was________with flowers. They’d worked all morning, gathering the fresh flowers and________them into a surprise message.

I immediately realized I’d been much too hurried in my________of the situation. In fact, they’d spent their time sending a________to show how much they really cared.

A teacher let her class play a game. The teacher _______ each child to bring a bag _______ a few potatoes. Each potato will be _______ a name of the person that the child _______, so the number of potatoes that a child will put into his/her bag will _______ the number of people the child hates.

Some children had two potatoes; some had three and others had up to _______ potatoes. The teacher then told the children to _______ the bag wherever they go for a _______.

_______ the days went by, the children started to ________ because of the unpleasant smell coming from the rotten (腐烂) potatoes. And the students with five potatoes also had to carry______________bags.

After a week, the teacher asked, “How did you feel?” The children started complaining about the ________ they had to ________. When they had to carry the heavy and ________ potatoes everywhere they went.

Then the teacher said, “This is the ________ where you carry your hate for somebody__________your heart. The smell of hate will ________ your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot ________ the smell of rotten potatoes for just one week, can you imagine ________ it is like to have the smell of hate in your heart for your __________.

I was at the bus stop, heading home after a long, busy day, when I served guests at a restaurant. Suddenly I realized I’d left behind my wallet with $80 worth of tips and one of my photos in it! I couldn’t afford to ________ a day’s pay. When I ran back, the restaurant was closed. So I had to tell myself: I’d try to ________ about it this evening.

The next day was much ________ than the day before. I was already ________ five tables there, when a white-haired ________ sat down in my section (区域). No matter how ________ I was, I made sure to give them the best ________ I could. After their meal, I thanked them for their kindness. The couple had left the ________ by the time I picked up the tip. This wasn’t right, I thought; there was much more than twenty dollars. It was too much for a tip. I ________ again; forty dollars!

Quickly, I ________ around to look for the couple. They’d left the restaurant. ________, I went to the hostess (女招待). “Did you see that ________ couple who just sat in my section leave?” I asked. “Oh, they are my parents, and have gone home,” the hostess said. “They told me about you. Yesterday they ________ your wallet. Since you were very ________ just now, they asked me to give the wallet to you. By the way, they said they were very ________with your service and gave you twice as much as a tip.”

How kind they are and what a coincidence (巧合)! I will always try my best to serve customers well in future.
