A man loved his son very much. Every day after work the man would come home and play with the little boy.

One night, while the man was at work, he realized that he had extra(額外的) work to do for the evening, and that he wouldn’t be able to play with his son. But, he wanted to be able to give the boy something to keep him busy. Looking around his office, he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He removed the map, and then patiently(耐心地) tore (撕) it up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces in his coat pocket.

When he got home, his son wanted to play with him, but he spreat (鋪) all the pieces of the map on the table. He explained that it was a map of the world, and that by the time his son could put it back together, his extra work would be finished, and they could both play. Surely this would keep the child busy for hours, he thought.

About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, “OK, it’s finished. Can we play now?” The man was surprised, saying, “That’s impossible. Let’s go and see.” And sure enough, there was the picture of the world, all put together, every piece in its place. The man said, “That’s amazing! How did you do that?” The boy said, “It was simple. On the back of the page was a picture of a man. When I put the man together, the whole world fell into place.”

A man came home from work late, tired, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”
“If you must know, I make $20 an hour,”
“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?”
The father was furious, “If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think about why you are being so selfish(自私的)!”

“Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now.” said the man, “Here’s $10.”
“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” he said happily. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.
“Why do you want more money since you already have some?” The father shouted angrily.
