What he did next was unbelievable. Instead of punishing my brother, he sat down, _____ the pen from my brother’s hand, and then wrote in the book himself, alongside the scribbles John had made:

“John’s work, 1959, _____ 2.” How many times have I looked into your beautiful face and into your warm eyes looking up at me and _____God for the one who has now scribbled in my new hymnal. You have made the book sacred(神圣的), as have your brother and sister.

“Wow,” I thought. “This is punishment?”

When you are feeling unhappy or forget how great you are, these are six ways to make you feel good about yourself.

Do something nice for someone. Helping others always makes you feel good.

Smile! Be friendly to the people you meet. Look for the good things in your friends and family.

Learn something new! Do you want to decorate(装饰) your own room or learn how to swim? Go for it! New challenges(挑战) are fun and give you a sense of accomplishment(成就感) when you finish them.

Stay with your family. We all need our family time. Talk with your mum or dad or maybe even your cousin.
