Question

This morning I got an e-mail from Roy. It seems that my boy really enjoys his new life at Harvard University. The e-mail made me think of the first day when we moved into this house.

Little Roy ran around the new house with great excitement and tried to move his own things, such as his toys, books and clothes, into the house. Suddenly, his little hand knocked over a bottle of paint on the shelf. The paint made the tidy floor and white wall a terrible mess. “Oh, my dear!” My wife rushed in angrily. I looked at my son, and his small face was filled with terror.

I smiled and held his hand, “Take it easy, Roy. Now let’s do something to make it look nice.” I took out a brush. “You see, Dad is a magician. I can change it into a big tree.”

His mother soon helped paint some butterflies and flowers on the wall with the paint.

We spent the whole afternoon painting and laughing. The wall became a beautiful forest with plants, birds and small animals. Blue sky and white clouds were also painted by Roy. On that day, everybody in the house knew something special happened.

The night before Roy left for Harvard, he asked me if I still remembered the day when he had knocked over the paint. “Since then I’ve never worried about making mistakes,” he said, “I believe I can always find out ways to solve the problems.”
