My grandfather is a teacher. He is the head teacher of a school for boys between the ages of thirteen and eighteen. I know that he is a kind man, because he gives me gifts, and let me sit on his knee, and tells me stories. But I believe the boys at his school are afraid of him. At school, when he walks into a room full of boys, they will be quiet at once. When he looks at a boy with a certain look in his eyes, that boy's face goes red, and looks down at his shoes. If a boy brings careless work, my grandfather will pick up the boy's book and throw it across the room, shouting, "Do it all again, and bring it back the first thing in the morning!" If the boy is late, or if he forgets to bring the work, he has to do it again, and again and yet again.

Dear Mom,

Have I ever told you I once felt that my classmates' moms loved them more than you loved me? They cooked for their kids, cleaned their rooms and picked them up after school. You hardly ever did those things for me.

I cleaned my own room at the age of 5. At 10, I came home alone(独自)after school. When I was 12, I prepared (准备) dinner for the whole family every evening. Then I ① ____ to think that other moms were better(更好)than you.

Then one day, I overheard(无意中听到) a classmate saying: " My mom is ② ____ on business today. Nobody(无人)is cooking for me. What can I eat? I am hungry(饿)now. " At that moment, I thought to myself: " How lucky I can cook myself!" Then I finally understood why my mom asked me to do all the things on my own. Yes, as it says, the art of parents' love is knowing when to let go.

Mom, thank you for everything you did for me.

Love,

Tony
