Understanding among people is always like a warm sunshine in our life. It can make people happier and the life more wonderful. I still remember my father acted 51 an understanding husband when I was a little girl.
My mom used to cook dinner with the breakfast food. One day, my mom put some burnt (烧焦的) bread in front of my dad for dinner. The burnt bread looked 52 and hard to eat. I thought my dad would not have it and be angry with Mom. To my surprise, my dad took the bread, smiled at my mom and talked with me 53 while he was eating the bread. I couldn't remember what I told 54 that night. But I did remember watching him put some butter on the bread and eat up the bread as usual.
After dinner, I still 55 if my dad really liked the burnt bread. So I invited him to 56 and take a walk around our house and asked him about that. He held me in 57 and said, "Your mom worked very hard all day. She's really tired. And you see—a bit of burnt food 58 stops us from loving others!" Only then did I know what a great husband and a father he is! 59 I was a little girl at that time, I still could feel his true care for Mom. I felt his arms were warmer.
Life is not perfect. Nobody is perfect, either. What we really need is the 60 of each other—whether between the husband and the wife, the parent and the child or just between two friends. This is the key to a happy life.
