When I was
about six years old, my brother David and I visited our aunt, Mary. We stayed
in her house for a night. David was only 4 years old, and was still1of
the dark. 80 Mary left the hall light on when we slept.
However,
David2the grey moths (飞蛾) flying around the hall light. He asked Mary to make the moths go
away. When she asked3, he simply answered, "Because they
are ugly and scary. I don't like them." Mary laughed and said, "Being
ugly outside doesn't4not being beautiful inside. In fact,
moths are one of the most beautiful insects in the insect world.
Once. the
angels (天使) were5. They were sad because it
was raining heavily. The6little moths hated to see others so sad.
They decided to make a rainbow (彩虹) to cheer up the
angels. They thought if the butterflies (蝴蝶)7,
they could make a beautiful rainbow together.
Then one
of the moths went to ask the butterflies for help. But the butterflies didn't
want to8any of their colours. so the moths
decided to make a rainbow themselves. They beat their wings very hard and the
colours on them made a rainbow. They kept giving a little more and a little
more9the rainbow went across the sky. They
had given away all their colours except grey, which didn't match the beautiful
rainbow.
Then the
once colourful moths became10. The angels saw the rainbow and smiled.
My brother
went to sleep with that story and hasn't feared moths since then.
