The young boy and his father sat quietly watching the snow fall on a snowy Saturday afternoon.

“  43  choice is a bad thing?” the boy asked.

“It’ s a snowman! The side 49  made me snowman!” the boy replied with  50

The child then stood up and  52 an arm full of the smaller snowballs. One by one he began to throw them at the other small piles of snow. He said,”This is what happens when people can't work together. They have a(n)  53  .”
Dad was shocked. He stood up, lifted the boy and  54 him tightly, whispering to him, “I hope that your world will learn to work and live together. I hope you will make the right   55
