Sam and Joe were astronauts. There was once a very dangerous trip and many experienced astronauts knew there was only a small chance of coming back alive. Sam and Joe, however, thought it would be exciting though a little dangerous. “We’re the best men for the job,” they said to the boss. “There may be problems, but we can find the answers.” “They’re the last people I’d trust,” thought the boss. “ But all the other astronauts have refused to go.”

　 Once they were in space, Joe had to go outside to make some repairs. When the repairs were dong, he tried to get back inside the spaceship. But the door was locked.

A man got a new car and he was very proud of it. One day, when he came back home. He saw his three-year-old son happily hitting the new car with a toy hammer. He broke off the paint on the car. The man was so angry that he ran to his son, took away his hammer from him, and used the hammer to hit the boy’s hands as hard as he could for punishment（惩罚）。The poor boy cried loudly but his father didn’t care at all.

When the father calmed down, he took his son to the hospital as soon as he could. Although the doctor tried to save the broken bones, he had to cut the fingers from both of the boy’s hands in the end

When the boy woke up in the hospital and saw his hands ,he innocently（天真地）said“Daddy, I’m sorry about your car.”Then he asked, “But when are my fingers going to grow back?” The father felt very sad.

Think about this story when someone steps on your feet or when you want to argue with someone. Cars can be repaired, but broken bones and hurt feelings often can’t.

　 People make mistakes. We are also allowed to make mistakes. We often fail to see the differences between people and their actions. We forget that the forgiveness is greater than argument Think before you act!
