Once upon a time， there were two doors in a house. One was a beautiful living room door， and the other was just a normal bathroom door.

There were some naughty children in the house， and they always kicked(踢) the door. The living room door was always very angry about it and hated the children.

Before long， things will be better.”

One day， the living door finally lost his temper(发脾气). A child kicked him， and he broke at once. The owner of the house got very angry and told the children to be careful next time.
