When I was small, my mum used to give the family something special for meals —she would make breakfast food for dinner.  

I still remember one night my mum   31    some bread in front of my dad, something very burnt. I waited to see if anybody noticed. To my surprise, my dad just took his    32   , smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me how my day at school had been. I've   33   what I told him that night.   34   I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He  35   as usual, every single bit. 

 After dinner, my mum said   36  to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, "I    37    burnt bread, dear. It doesn't matter at all. "

38    , I went to kiss Dad good light. I asked him if he really liked his bread burnt. He held me in arms and   39  , “Your mum worked very hard all day. She's really _40_. And you see—a bit of burnt food never hurt anyone!”

    Now I know life is not perfect. _41_ is perfect, either. As for me. 1 often forget birthdays or some other special days. But I've learned something _42_ over these years. What we really need is the understanding of each other, whether between a husband and wife, a parent and _43_ or just between two friends. This is the key to a happy  44  .

So don't get angry if the bread gets burnt. Remember.    45  bread never hurt anyone. Be kind to those around you and a happier life will surely come closer to you.
