In front of my daughter, Shelly, was a bowl filled with cabbage. She hated cabbage. She only sat there in silence with tears in her eyes.

“Shelly, my dear, why don’t you eat a little? If not, your mum will shout at us.”

Shelly didn’t feel happy. “OK, dad. I will eat, just a little.” Then Shelly said, “Dad, if I eat it all, will you give me what I want?”

“Yes.”

Slowly she began to eat. It took her almost half an hour to finish all the food in the bowl. Then she came up to me and said, “Dad, I want to have my hair cut off!”

“Shelly, why don’t you ask for something else? If we see your head like that, we’ll feel very sad,” I said.

“But Dad, you promised! Now you’re going back on your words. ”

I had to keep my promise. Shelly had all her hair cut off. She smiled.

On Monday morning, I took Shelly to school. Just when I arrived, a boy got out of a car and shouted, “Shelly, please wait for me!”

Guess what? The boy had no hair, either.

“Sir, your daughter is great!” a man got out of the car and said, “This boy is my son, Harish. He has cancer. He lost his hair when he got ill. Shelly cut hers off so Harish felt less different. She is a special girl.”

Last spring I was walking in a park. In front of me there was a mum and her 3-year-old daughter. The little girl was holding on to a string, which had a balloon at the other end.

All of a sudden, a sharp gust (一阵风) of wind took the balloon from the little girl. I thought she would scream and cry.

But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon rise to the sky, she cheerfully shouted out, “Wow!”

I didn’t realize it at that moment. But that little girl taught me something.

Later that day, I received a phone call from a person with news of a sudden problem. I almost replied with “Oh no, what should we do?” But remembering that little girl, I found myself saying: “Wow, that is interesting! How can I help you?”

One thing is for sure — life is always going to put us off balance with things we don’t expect. But how we act to them is our choice. We can choose to be discouraged or interested.

No matter what the situation is, a “Wow!” will always beat “Oh, no.”

So next time you meet one of life’s unexpected gusts, remember that little girl and make it a “Wow!” experience. It always works.

1.Where was the little girl?

______________________________________________________________________________

2.How did the little girl feel when her balloon was blown away?
