助记故事

“Leo worked hard to win the art competition. When he showed his painting to his father, the man barely looked up from his newspaper and said ‘Fine.’ This cold indifference felt worse than if his father had criticized the painting. Leo realized that his father simply didn’t care.” (里奥努力想赢得美术比赛。当他把画展示给父亲看时，父亲几乎没从报纸上抬头，只说了句“还好”。这种冰冷的冷漠感比父亲批评这幅画还要让他难受。里奥意识到，父亲根本不在乎。)
