One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the class on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.
Then she told them to think of the 31 thing they could say about each of their 32 and write it down.
It took the remainder of the class period to finish their 33 , and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.
That Saturday the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a 34 sheet of paper, and 35 what everyone else had said about that 36 .
On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was 37 . “Really?” she heard whispers (耳语). “I 38 knew I meant anything to anyone!” and, “I didn’t know 39 liked me so much!” were most of the 40 .
That group of students 41 on. Several years later, one of the students, Mark, was killed in Vietnam and the teacher attended the funeral of that special student.
The church was 42 his friends. After the funeral, Mark’s parents met the teacher. “We want to 43 you something, “Mark’s father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket.” They 44 this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might 45 it.”
Opening the wallet, he 46 removed two 47 pieces of notebook paper that had been folded and unfolded many times.
The teacher knew without looking 48 the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark’s classmates had 49 about him.
“Thank you so much for doing that,” Mark’s mother said. “As you can see, Mark 50 it.”
