Reading Comprehension
Read the text and mark the following statements «True» or «False».
When I was a kid, I remember one night in particular when Mum had made dinner after a long, hard day at work. On that evening my Mum placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burnt biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for the biscuit, smile at my Mum and ask me how my day was at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember hearing my Mum apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I’ll never forget what he said, «Honey, I love burned biscuits.» Later I went to kiss my Daddy good night and asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, «Your mum put in a long hard day at work today and she is really tired. And besides a burnt biscuit never hurt anyone! You know, life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. I’m not the best, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone. What I have learned over the years is that learning to accept each other’s faults and choosing to celebrate each other’s differences is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.»
