Question

When I was small, my mum used to give the family something special for meals — she would make breakfast food for dinner. 

I still remember one night my mum put some bread in front of my dad, something very burnt. I waited to see if anybody noticed. To my surprise, my dad just took his     , smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me how my day at school had been. I’ve forgotten what I told him that night.     I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He as usual, every single bit. 

After dinner, my mum said sorry to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, “I       burnt bread, dear. It doesn’t matter at all. ”

    , I went to kiss Dad good night. I asked him if he really liked his bread burnt. He held me in arms and       , “Your mum worked very hard all day. She's really tired. And you see — a bit of burnt food never hurt anyone!”

    Now I know life is not perfect.     is perfect, either. As for me, I often forget birthdays or some other special days. But I’ve learned something       over these years. What we really need is the understanding of each other, whether between a husband and wife, a parent and child or just between two friends. This is the key to a happy     .

So don’t get angry if the bread gets burnt. Remember,       bread never hurt anyone. Be kind to those around you and a happier life will surely come closer to you.
