A man had a little daughter_ an only and much_loved child. He lived for her. So when she became ill, he became a crazy man. He tried everything to bring her health back. However, his efforts didn’t work and the child died. The father was really sad, shutting himself away from his friends and refusing to do any activity. He didn’t want anything to bring him back to his normal self until on night he had a dream.

He was in heaven and saw a group of all the little children angels(天使). They were walking in a line. All the angels were wearing white clothes and each child carried a candle(蜡烛). He noticed that one child’s candle was not lighted（点燃）. Then he saw that the child was his little girl. _______ he rushed to her right away and put her into his arms. He kissed her and then asked, “Why is your candle alone unlighted, darling?”

“Daddy, they often light it again, but your tears always put it out.”

Just then he woke up from his dream. The lesson was clear, and its effects were quick. From that hour on, he was not a sad father. He became cheerful with his friends. His darling’s candle would not longer be put out by his unless tears.

When we got to my Dad’s home，we found Dad still coughed a lot，but his smile was as sure as ever. He was sick. My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend，we had to return to our jobs on Monday. But I wanted to let him know that we also cared about him，even when we weren’t with him.

Then I remembered when our children were small. Before leaving their grandparents’ home after a visit，each child would write a love note to their grandparents. For days，their grandparents would smile as they read these notes of love.

So when I cleaned Dad’s kitchen and made the bed for him, I wrote some notes. Some were like this，“Dad，I put the food in the fridge.”  Some were like this，“Dad，I hope you will sleep well in your new bed.” Most notes were put downstairs he would stay for several weeks when he was. But I put one note upstairs under his pillow(枕头), “If you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!”

These notes helped improve his health. A few weeks later, I asked Dad how he was doing on the phone. He said, “Much better. I just found your note under my pillow upstairs!”

Smoking is bad for you, but what if your parents smoke? You might be worried about their health, be tired of smelling the smoke, or even a little embarrassed by it. You can’t order your parents t o stop smoking, but you can help them to give up this bad habit. Tell them smoking is not good for their health.

If you think it will help, you could find some articles like this one and give them to your parents. Many states now have free program s to help people give up smoking. You might even see them advertised on billboards(公告栏) in your town. Point these out to your parents and help them to find out more about these programs.

What if your parents get angry with you for mentioning the topic of smoking? People don’t like to be told that they are doing something unhealthy, so it is possible your parents will be angry, especially if they are worried they won’t be able to give up smoking. Maybe they have tried before but failed.

Remember to be kind and show respect(尊敬) when you discuss smoking with your parents. Also remember that it is not easy to give up smoking. Some people have tried several times before they’re able to give up. Instead of shouting at them, tell them that you love them and want them to enjoy many healthy years ahead. They may finally realize you are right about smoking.

If your parents agree to stop smoking, be their biggest supporter. Ask if there is anything you can do when they feel the desire(渴望) to smoke. Maybe you could go for a walk, do a puzzle, or listen to music together. As they reach their goals, such as a month without smoking, remember to celebrate the achievement.
