One day, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground. The woman
_36__ a little boy in a red coat and said: “That is my son __
37__ is moving smoothly down the slide (滑板)”. “What a lovely boy!” the man replied. Then he went __
38__ saying, “That is my daughter on the bike. She is __
39__ a white dress”.
After a while, the man looked at his __
40__ and called to the girl in white, “Shall we go home, Mary?” “Only five __
41__ minutes, Dad, please?” little Mary cried. The man __
42__ and Mary went on riding her bike happily. Five minutes passed soon. The father
__43__ and called again to his daughter: “It’s time __
44__ now, Mary?” Again, Mary pleaded (恳求), “Give me more minutes, Dad. __
45__ five more minutes, OK?” The man smiled and said: “OK.”
The __
46__ responded, “You are surely a patient father.” __
47__ in thought, the man said nothing. However, after a __
48__, he smiled and then said: “Her elder brother Tom was killed by a __
49__ driver last year while he was riding his bike near here. I never __
50__ much time with Tom and now I would give anything for just five more minutes with him. I wouldn’t make the same __
51__ with Mary. She thinks she has five more minutes to ride her bike. The __
52__ is that I get five more minutes to watch her play. Life sometimes __
53__ too suddenly. ”
Yes, life is all about making priorities (优先考虑的事), and what are your priorities? Don’t always __
54__ excuses for your not being able to accompany your family members or your friends. Give someone you are __
55__ five more minutes of your time today!
