Larry seemed always silent and didn’t have any friend. His teacher Mr. Brown ___1___ this. One day, he asked Larry to meet him after class. Mr. Brown said, “I see that you don’t talk to anyone or show any ___2___ in anything. What’s wrong?” Larry replied, “Sir, I have a very ___3___ life. I have to face some very sad incidents and I keep ___4___ them. Because of this, I can’t focus my attention on anything and don’t even feel like talking to ___5___.”
Mr. Brown listened carefully, thought for a while and said, “Would you like some lemonade(柠檬汽水)?” Larry felt a little ___6___ and nervously replied, “Yes, thank you!”
While ___7___ lemonade, Mr. Brown added more salt on purpose and kept the quantity of sugar low. Larry made a ___8___ face as soon as he drank a sip of that lemonade. Seeing this, Mr. Brown asked “You don’t like it?”
“Um…it’s just there is a bit too much ___9___ in it,” Larry answered.
Mr. Brown stopped him, “Oh, it doesn’t matter. I will throw it away.” As the teacher was lifting the glass to ___10___, Larry stopped him and said, “Sir, please don’t throw it away. ___11___ we put a little more sugar in the lemonade, it will be fine to drink.”
Hearing this, Mr. Brown said___12___, “This is what I want to hear from you. To improve the ___13___ of lemonade, we don’t need to remove the salt from it, we can just add some sugar to it. Similarly, we cannot remove sad things that have ___14___ happened to us, but we can add sweetness of good experiences in our life. If you keep on crying about your ___15___, neither your present will be right nor the future will be bright.”
Larry realized his problem and promised to live a positive life.
