One day, I was reading a newspaper when my wife called, “Will you    16    here and make your baby daughter eat her food?”

I threw the    17    away and rushed to my 8-year-old daughter, Sinduja. In front of her was a bowl full of rice. She said to me, “Dad,    18   I eat all the rice, will you give me whatever I ask for?” “Certainly.” I promised.

“Dad, I want to have my hair    19    from my head this Sunday!” she said. I felt a little surprised. “Sinduja, why don’t you ask for something else? We will be    20    when seeing you with a clean-shaven(剃光的) head.”

“Dad, you have promised to give me    21    I ask for,” Sinduja cried. “Now, you are breaking your promise!”

On Monday morning, I dropped her at the    22   . I watched my hairless Sinduja walking towards her classroom. Just then, a boy with a    23    head got down from the car, and shouted, “Sinduja, please    24    for me!”

“Sir, you daughter is    25    indeed!” A lady got out of the    26   , and continued, “That boy who is walking along your daughter is my son, Harish. He is    27    from leukemia(白血病). He lost all his hair because of the side effects of the chemotherapy(化疗). He was afraid that his classmates would laugh at him, so he    28    to come back to school. Sinduja visited him last week. I   29    imagined she would give up her lovely hair for my son!”

I stood there, unable to move or speak. “Thank you, my little angel! You are teaching me how selfless real love is !” I thought.

Early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps us to have good health. We all

need fresh air. It makes our health better to take morning exercises. The air is never so fresh as

early in the morning. Early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly

and find it easy to learn something by heart. Early rising makes people able to plan the work for

the day. We can’t work well without a good plan. Just as the plan for the year should be made

in the spring, the plan for a day should be made in the morning. Early rising gives us enough

time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our hands and eat our breakfast. So the popular

saying says, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
