How life changes

    About ten years ago when I was at university, I worked at my university's museum. One day I was working in the gift shop, I saw two old people come with a little girl in a wheelchair (轮椅).

    As I looked closer this girl, I realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and body. She was (wear) a little white dress. When the old people pushed her up to me, I was looking down at the desk. I turned my head and gave (she) a smile. As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the cutest, (happy) smile I had ever seen.

    Just at that , her physical handicap (生理缺陷) was gone. All I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just impressed me almost gave me a completely new idea of what life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy university student and brought me into her world, a world of smiles and love.

    That was ten years ago. I'm a (success) business person now and whenever I feel frustrated and think about the trouble of the world, I will think of that little girl and the unusual lesson about life that she (teach) me.

    One day an angel (天使) came across three peas. She said she could help each of them 1 a dream.

    The first pea wanted to fly in the sky, and the second one's 2 was to swim in the sea. The third one said it had been 3 going to a place where it could bring happiness to others. The angel 4 them where they wanted to go. The first pea fell onto the5 after a long flight and was eaten by a hen. The second one sank into the sea and had to stay in the darkness alone all its life. The third one flew into a flower pot (花盆) whose 6 was a poor little girl. Having been ill for a long time, she was very 7 and couldn't go outside.

    One day, when the girl was walking as usual in the house, she 8 a small pea plant in the flower pot. 9 the plant only had two tiny leaves, it seemed to be cheerful. When a light 10 came, it danced and seemed to be encouraging the girl to cheer up. "I will grow up like this plant and I will be better soon," she said in a confident voice. From then on, the girl stayed beside the little pea plant, watched it and talked with it. Day by day the plant grew taller and taller, and 11 the little girl became better and better. Finally, the pea plant flowered and the girl returned to her 12.

    Then the angel came. The pea plant waved its leaves to her and said, "Look! My 13 has come true and I feel I'm the 14 pea in the world!" The angel smiled, "Only the dream that can 15 others will bring happiness in return!"

    My 14-year-old son, John, and I saw the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price, $ 28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but new ones could cost several hundred dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. It fit him so well.

    John wore the coal to school the next clay. After he came home, I asked. "Did the kids like your coat?"

    "They loved it," he said with a big grin.

    Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and much happier. "Good dinner, Mom," he would say every evening. Without a word of complaining, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, "You're right. I guess I will." When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.

    John and I both know we should never judge a person by his clothes. But it is true that when wearing beautiful and suitable clothes, we may try to be better in thought, speech and behavior to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside.

    Barry is having a very difficult time in his life. His wife recently passed away. He is very sad.

    Barry's neighbor, a very old woman named Gertrude, sees him from her yard one day. She has not seen him outside for days!

    "Hello, Barry! Just look at this fence. It is broken. You are a strong man, and you have some free time. I want you to fix this fence for me," Gertrude says.

    Barry is angry. He thinks the old lady is very selfish. Still, he knows she is a nice woman, and he respects her. He agrees to help her.

    Barry works for days. Gertrude brings him lemonade while he works. When he finishes, he smiles for the first time in months.

    "You did such a wonderful job. Do you think you could paint it for me?" Gertrude smiles at him.

    Barry cannot believe his ears. Doesn't she know how sad he is? But because he respects her so much, Barry agrees. He works hard in the hot sun, but Gertrude's lemonade and encouragement are wonderful. He feels proud of the beautiful fence he is making.

    Over the next few weeks, Gertrude keeps giving Barry jobs. He even repairs her door. All the neighbors pass by and tell Barry what a beautiful job he has done.

    He finally realizes that she has never been rude. She is really very wise. He knows that simply getting busy with something can take sorrow away. He helps her, but she truly saves him.
