One day, an l1-year-old girl asked her dad, “What are you going to get me for my 15th birthday?” The father replied, “Don’t worry about that. You still have lots of time.” But on a day after her 14th birthday, she passed out and was taken to the hospital. The family learned that the girl had a serious heart problem and that she might die. At night, she asked her dad, “Daddy, have they told you that I am going to die?” The father replied, “No, you will live as long as anyone else.”

She was curious（好奇的）. “How can you be sure?” He turned to her and said “I just know it.”

After his girl turned 15, she had a heart tapa（心脏移植手术）. After she came home from the hospital, she found a letter on her bed.

It said, “My dearest daughter, if you are reading this, it means that everything went as I told you it would. One day you asked me what I would give you for your 15th birthday. I wasn’t sure then. But now you know that my present to you is my heart.” The father donated（捐赠）his heart to his daughter.

Parents are selfless（无私的）. They often make great sacrifices（牺牲）to make their children happy. Keep this in mind when you feel angry toward your parents. Most of the time, they’re just doing what they think is best for you.
