[i=s] 本帖最后由 jane019 于 2012-4-6 14:45 编辑 [/i]

[p=30, 2, left][size=12pt][color=#000000]Little Chad was a shy, quiet young man. One day he came home and told his mother that he'd like to make a Valentine for everyone in his class. Her heart sank. She thought, "I wish he wouldn't do that!" She had watched the children when they walked home from school. Her Chad was always behind them. They laughed and hung on each other and talked to each other. But Chad was never included. Nevertheless, she decided she would go along with her son. So she purchased the paper and glue and crayons. For three weeks, night after night, Chad painstakingly made 35 Valentines.

He carefully stacked them up, put them in a bag, and bolted out the door. His mother decided to bake him his favorite cookies and serve them nice and warm with a cool glass of milk when he came home from school. She just knew he would be disappointed and maybe that would ease the pain a little. It hurt her to think that he wouldn't get many Valentines - maybe none at all.

When she heard the children outside, she looked out the window. Sure enough, there they came, laughing and having the best time. And, as always, there was Chad in the rear. He walked a little faster than usual. She fully expected him to burst into tears as soon as he got inside. His arms were empty, she noticed, and when the door opened she choked back her tears.
[/color][/size][/p][p=30, 2, left][size=12pt][color=#000000][/color][/size][/p][p=30, 2, left][size=12pt][color=#000000]"Mummy has some cookies and milk for you," she said.[/color][/size][size=12pt][color=#000000]But he hardly heard her words. He just marched right on by, his face aglow, and all he could say was: "Not a one. Not a one."
