The Jordans had the best raspberries in the neighborhood, and that their bushes were alway

The Jordans had the best raspberries in the neighborhood, and that their bushes were always heavy with fruit.So, that summer Friday night, we snuck(潜行) into the Jordans’ backyard and  21  ourselves carefully around the bushes and started  22  their sweet, juicy berry. And we were enjoying every bite of ill-gotten berry  23  all of a sudden the Jordans’ backyard lights were turned on.
“What you boys doing out here?” Mr Jordan shouted. In all  24  ran off my friends, une aten raspberries  25  everywhere.
He made an attempt to grab one or two, but they were too quick. Speed was never my   26  . So I could just stand there and  27  whatever punishment from the Jordans and my parents. I took the scolding that Mr Jordan gave me until we reached my house, where my mother  28  . My friends said they could hear every  29  word from the darkness of our backyard, where they had gathered to celebrate their  30  .
They  31   me about it for days afterwards, while all I could do was plain about how   32   it was that I had to pay the full  33   for doing the exact same thing all of them had done without any  34   consequences. After about a week, I plained it to my father.
“You took raspberries without asking, and you got exactly the punishment you  35 ,”Dad said.
“But what about the other guys?” I asked.
“That’s not my  36  , nor should it be yours,” Dad said. “You can’t control what happens to other people. You can  37   deal with what happens to you.”
Back then I thought Dad just didn’t   38   it. But through the years I e to realize that,   39 , he knew what he was talking about. We didn’t e to earth with a(an)  40  that life would treat us fairly. The only thing we can actually deal with is what happens to us.
