When I was about 13, my father would take me on short outings on Saturdays. On the way home, Dad stopped at the Dairy Queen for lO-cent ice creams. I couldn't it, but I could pray from the we started heading home to that comer where we would either go straight for the ice cream or and go home empty-handed. That corner either mouth-watering excitement or .On one special day, we were heading home, and again I was praying for the sound of his offer ,It ,”Would you like an ice cream today?” That sounds great, Dad!” But then he said,” How would you like to today?”
Twenty cents! My mind reeled(震惊),I could afford it,I got a weekly allowance of 25cents ,plus some for odd jobs. But it wsa my money ,ice cream wasn’t a good use of it ,In a fit of ,I said ,”well ,in that case,I guess I’ll ,”My father just said,” Okay, Son,”
But sa we headed home ,I realized how wrong I was and begged him to .But he just said,” That’s okay ,we don’t really need one.” I felt for my selfishness and ungratefully see. He didn’t mind, or act disappointed.
I that generosity(慷慨) goes two ways and gratefulness sometimes costs more than” thank you”. On that day gratefulness would have cost 20 cents and it would have been the ice cream I’d ever had.
I’ll tell you one more thing. We another trip the next week. As we the center. I said,” Dad, would you like an ice cream today? My treat.”
