My son starts school today. It's going to be         and new to him for a while. And I wish you would sort of treat him        . You see,        , he's been king of his own room. He’s been         of the back yard. I have always been around to         his wounds, and to comfort his feelings. But now things are going to be        .
This morning, he is going to walk down the front steps, wave his hand and start on his great         that will probably include wars and tragedy and sorrow. To live his life in the world he has to live in         faith and love and courage.      , World, I         you would sort of take him by the hand and teach him that things he will have to know. Teach him, but gently, if you can. Teach him that for every scoundrel (恶棍) there is a hero; that for every dishonest politician, there is a         leader; that for every enemy there is a friend. Teach him the wonders of        . Give him quiet time to         the mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers on the green hills. Teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to        . Teach him to         his own ideas,         everyone else tells him he is wrong. Teach him to sell his strength and brains to the highest bidder（出价人）, but never to put a price on his        . Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob（暴徒） and to stand and         if he thinks he's right. Teach him gently, World, but don't         him, because only the         of fire makes fine steel. This is a big order, World, but see what you can do. He is such a nice little fellow.
