As years went by, this event took on a double meaning for me: a traditional birthday party for Dad, thanking him for all that he had done for me in my life. When we knew it might be his last birthday, the whole family decided to get together for a huge birthday celebration at the nursing home.During a quiet moment, I announced it was now Dads turn to listen to stories for a change. I wanted everyone to tell Dad what we loved about him. The room became still. Then one after another, we told stories from our hearts, while Dad listen with tears in eyes. We brought all kinds of stories back to our minds stories about when we were little, stories about when Dad was young and stories that shared family happiness.The stories went on one after another. Everyone seemed to have more than one story. Even the little grandchildren couldnt wait to tell my Dad why they loved him. For a man who had been kind to so many people in his life, this was our chance to celebrate him. A few months later, at Dads memorial service, we fully realized what we had given Dad that night. Those are the stories people usually tell at a funeral （葬礼）after a beloved one is no longer alive to hear the words. They tell stories, full of tears. But we had given those memories to Dad in his life, and we had told those stories through laughter, accompanied by hugs and joy. He had them in his mind during his last days and months.Words do matter, and they are enough. We just need to say them or to speak them publicly to the ones we love. Thats the way to give back love and our chances to celebrate a person in his or her life.61.

A Big Family PartyCIn Paris, one cold winter evening, I was having dinner with my friend, Mr. Hope, the famous detective（侦探）. We had just finished our meal, when therewas a loud knock at the door. Hope opened it. There stood Mr. Germain, the captain of the Paris Police. We welcomed him warmly, for he was an old friend whom we hadnt seen for a long time. “I need yourassistance,” said Germain. “I met a case that has been giving me agreat deal of trouble.” “It is very simple but very strange.” “Also, please keep this secret. If anyone found out that I told you this. I would certainly lose my job.” “Well, then,” said the Captain,” I have learned that a very important letter has been stolen from the king. We are sure who stole it and that the letter is in his house. “But who would dare do such a thing!” I cried. “The thief,” said Germain softly, “is a man who dares do many dangerous things. He is one of the most powerful and important ministers in the government. He is Minister Harper!” “A lot of times, while Minister Harper was out, a lot of well-trained police officers carefully searched the entire house, room by room. In fact, we examined everything in the house but found nothing.” A month later, Hope asked Germain and me to his house. There he took out a letter and handed it to the Captain. We were both very surprised. Hope explained, “ I know Minister Harper very well. He could not hide the letter in any of the usual hiding places. I realized that he might have left the letter out in the open, right under everyones nose, where no one would search for it.” “Then I visited him with my dark glasses on to help me watch better. While wewere chatting, a dirty, torn letter in the letter holder suddenly caught my eyes-unusual for the Minister, who is careful and tidy.” “I was sure it was the letter.” “Then I left my gloves behind on purpose so I could come back again.” “The next morning, I hired a man to fire a gun on the street, while the Minister went to see what happened, I stole the letter by replacing it with a similar one，On it Hope wrote these words: Your plan was good, but mine was better As you can see, I took the letter.66.
