A
Tim was a little boy of nine years old. He was busy last Saturday morning, because he went to the park with his friends to paint.
He returned home very late. It was nearly half past twelve, but nobody was in. He found that there was a note on the table. It read:
Tim didn’t want to follow his parents everywhere. He felt so good that he could be a real big boy and look after himself.
Thinking there was nothing important out there, he cooked some noodles for himself and also helped himself to some apple juice.
Then he started to do some housework. He was really a good helper to his mother. When his mother was away, he would always find some housework to do, like sweeping the floor and washing the dishes. He felt it quite right for him to do some housework at weekends.
In the late afternoon, his parents came back. He asked them what happened.
“Why? You forget? It’s Grandmother’s birthday today.”
“Uh, gee! I simply forgot! I must telephone Grandmother.”

B
One sunny afternoon, I went to pick up my wife from work. I got there a little early, so I parked my car by a small park, and waited for her.
As I looked outside the car window, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass, got up, without looking back at his mother, ran as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.
While I was touched by the boy's persistence, I was really touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident.., so natural. No signs of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged--as if he didn't give a care about the world around him. His only aim was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was not looking for an agreement or was not worrying about whether someone was watching or not.
To run and to feel the experience of running freely! I learned a lot from the observation and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many jobs in my life.
