"This is the（39） night I have ever had，"he said．He began telling the story just like（40） a bag of beans．"I was talking with Jane when we saw a girl standing off into a dark corner alone，crying．Jane asked me to go dancing with the girl，but I said that Jane was（41） because I didn't even know who the girl was．Jane wouldn't stop and said that I had a（n）（42） to do something special by dancing with the girl．I knew why she was crying．Everybody could see that she was a little overweight and（43） invited her to dance．I wanted to．but I was afraid that I'd be laughed at．What if she turned me（44） ．It took me a lot of（45） to go over and ask if she wanted to dance．She said yes and we walked out to the dance floor．I felt my face turned red，but it was（46） and I didn't think others noticed．I thought everyone was looking at us，（47） no one laughed and we danced the whole dance．What happened next was unexpected．
After I danced with the girl，a lot of guys started dancing with girls（48） hadn't danced yet．It was only three minutes，but I was happy that I did something （49） tonight．I learned something，too．"
I could see tears in his eyes．I gave my son a hug and told him，"I'm so（50） you．"

That day, when he was trying to a bottle of milk out of the fridge, but he dropped the milk bottle. The milk spilled all over the _ floor, which turned out to be a sea of milk. He was afraid.
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of him, she smiled. She said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have __ seen such a huge puddle of milk before. Well, since it has already been done, would you like to get down and play in the milk for a moment before we clean it up?” Robert did his mother told him.
After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up at last and put to its right place. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge, a towel or a mop(抹布). Which do you prefer?” He the sponge and together they cleaned up he milk.
His mother then said, “You’d better learn to carry a big milk bottle with two small hands, OK? Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without it.”
The little boy that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip(瓶口) with both hands, he could make it. What a wonderful lesson!
It was at that moment that Robert knew he didn’t need to be _ to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just to learn something new, and that is what scientific experiments are all about. sometimes the experiment “doesn’t work”, we usually can learn something meaningful from it. Wouldn’t it be great if all parents would do the same as Robert’s mother does?
