I was that I was right and he was wrong. However, he believed that I was wrong and he was right. The teacher decided to teach us a lesson. She came up with a good idea. She brought of us to the front of the class ,then she placed the boy on one side of her grey desk and me on .In the middle of the desk was a large, round object (物体). It was clear for me that it was black. She asked the boy what color the object was. "White," he answered in a loud voice. I couldn't believe that the object was white. One more argument started between the boy me, this time about the color of the object. The teacher told me to go where the boy was standing and told him to come where I had been. We changed and then she asked me what the color of the object was. I had to answer, "White. " It was then that I what was wrong. It was an object with two differently colored sides, and from his side it was white only, from my side it was black. My teacher taught me a very important 1esson that day: You must stand in other persons' position (位置) and look at the situation through their eyes truly understand their ideas.

A young couple looking at the in front of me chatted non-stop. I watched them for a moment and realized the wife was doing all the talking. I admired(佩服)this man for being so with her. Bored by their noise, I moved on.
I met them several times as I moved those rooms of art. Each time I heard her voice, I moved away quickly.
I was standing at the museum gift shop buying some cards when the couple walked to the exit(出口).
" He's a brave man, " the clerk said. "Most of us would our interests if we were blind at such a young age. But behind his wife he comes in there's a new art show. "

“You won’t have time in the morning!” she talked back quickly.
“I’ll take time，” I answered. Sometimes no matter how hard I tried， time was never enough.
She wasn’t ready to up yet. “No， you won’t! It will be just like today when I told you to look at the chicken hawk. You didn’t listen to what I said.”
I was too tired to argue; she hit too to the truth. “Good night!” I shut her door in anger.
Later though， her gray-blue eyes filled my vision as I thought about how little time we really had until she was grown and gone. My husband asked me what was going on and I told him.
“Maybe she was not asleep yet. Why don’t you ?” he said.
I followed his advice， it was my own idea. I opened her door gently. In Darla’s hand I could see her paper all crumpled (弄皱的) up. She had torn into small pieces a big red heart with a poem she had written titled， “Why I Love My Mother?”
Why I Love My Mother
Although you’re busy， and you work so hard，
You always take time to play with me，
I love you Mommy，
Because I am the biggest part of your busy day!
Tears filled my eyes. When I softly touched her face， she awakened from a dreamless sleep and asked， “Why are you ， Mommy?”
“You ARE the most important part of my busy day!”
She smiled and then went back to sleep， not really understanding how strongly I what I said.
