I asked my dad if I'd ever made him cry before because I couldn't remember ever seeing him cry.
   "There was once，" he said.He told me that when I was one year old，he put a pen，a piece of paper money，and a toy in front of me.He wanted to see which one I would pick.It's a tradition that a lot of Chinese people do when their kids are one year old.
   According to this tradition，it shows what the kid will value （重视） most when they grow up.For example，if the kid takes the pen，it means he or she will be a smart person in the future.If the kid takes the money，it means he or she will value money more than others and will become rich.If the kid takes the toy，it means he or she will like fun things and play a lot.
   My father didn't take this tradition so seriously.He was just doing it out of curiosity.He wondered which one I would pick anyway.He said that I just sat there and looked at the three things.He sat across from me and waited to see the result.I moved toward him and he held his breath.To his surprise，I pushed everything aside and went right into his arms.He didn't realize that he was one of the choices.
   And that was the first and only time I made him cry.
