1．When I was a six-year-old girl，I spent the summer with my grandmother．She sent me down to the store with a list．Behind the counter（柜臺(tái)） was a lady，Miss White
"Excuse me，"I said，she looked up．"I need to get these．"I continued，holding up my list．"So？Get them？"Miss White pointed to a sign．"There is no one else here except you and me，and I am not your servant（仆人），so get yourself a basket over there．"
I visited Miss White twice a week that summer．Going to the store was like going into a war．But by the end of the summer，I could finish the one-hour shopping trip in around 15 minutes．Before returning home，I stopped at the store to get some candies at the last time．
"All right，"she said，"What did you learn this summer？"
"That you are mean（吝嗇的）！"I replied．
Miss White just laughed．"I know what you think of me，"she said．"Well，I don't care!My job is to teach every child I meet life lessons．You will be glad when you are older!"Glad I met Miss White？Ha!The idea wasunreasonable．
Many years later，one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles．
"It is too bad，"she said．
"Could you finish my math problems for me？"
"If I do it for you，how will you learn to do it yourself？"I said．Suddenly，I was back at the store where I had learned the hard way to do shopping by myself．
Life is full of all kinds of troubles．You may be given a hand once or twice，but luck may not find you every time．So try to work it out yourself．

3．Chores were not popular at my house．My children didn't like to do chores．They always saw me do chores，but they hardly ever helped me do them．
   A year ago，I made a game called"The Endless Chore Game"．It is really great．Here's how the game works．
  I make a card with forty squares（方框），and I write a different chore on each square．These chores can be easy and interesting like making dessert．Then my family rolls the dice（骰子）to decide what chores we have to do．The card also has a few squares with fun things，like watching TV．If you are lucky，you can watch TV while the others are doing the chores．
