A man got a new car and he was very proud of it．One day，when he came back home，he saw his three﹣year﹣old son happily hitting the new car with a toy（41）　　．He broke off the paint on the car．The man was so（42）　　that he ran to his son，took away his hammer（锤子） from him，and used

the hammer to hit the boy's（43）　　as hard as he could for punishment．The poor boy cried（44）　　but his father didn't care at all．

When the father calmed down，he took his son to the（45）　　as soon as he could．Although the

doctor tried to save the broken bones，he had to （46）　　the fingers from both of the boy's hands

in the end．

When the boy （47）　　in the hospital and saw his hands，he innocently （天真地） said，

"Daddy，I'm sorry about your car．"Then he asked，"But when are my fingers going to grow back？"The

father felt very sad and regretted this very much．

Think about this story when someone steps （踩）（48）　　your feet and you want to argue （争吵） with him．Think first before you（49）　　your patience with someone．Cars can be broken，

（50）　　bones and hurt feelings often can't．So always remember：excusing is greater than argument and think before you act!
