Long long ago, there was a beautiful little girl. She was 1because she had no family and no home. She only had her clothes and some bread. But she was very kind.

 A man asked her2she had something to eat. She gave him her3.

A child cried and told her that his 4was very cold. So she gave him her hat.

Then, she met a child with no coat. She gave him her coat.

One day, in the cold5forest, she met another child who

 6her dress. The little girl thought that it was dark and

7could see her, so she gave her dress away. At last, she had almost nothing: no family, nowhere to live, nothing to eat and little to wear.

8, stars fell from the sky. These stars became beautiful pieces of money. With the money, she9a new dress and a coat.

The little girl was rich for the10of her life and she still helped the people in need with her money.

    Band practice had just ended. Jimmy and Ben started packing up their1. Before Kevin could put his trumpet into the box, he2a music stand. It fell and hit right on his trumpet.

   "Oh, no!" Kevin yelled.

    Jimmy picked up the trumpet and checked it3 before handing it to Kevin. "Well, it already has a lot of dents(凹痕). One more won't matter."

    "I know.  But it's my4," Kevin said. "And he's coming over this weekend."

    "Maybe he won't notice the dent," Jimmy said.

    "Maybe he won't care," Ben added,

    A bunch of "5"ran through Kevin-s head on the bus home.

    Maybe he could pretend（假装） he felt sick.

    But he didn't like6.

    Maybe he could get his baby brother, Jace, to take all of Grandpa's attention.

    Or maybe Grandpa wouldn't ask him to play this time.

When7finally arrived, Kevin still hadn't figured out what he was going to do.

    "Hey, Kev. How're things?" Grandpa asked as he walked in.

    "Good." Kevin could have told him the8right then, but he froze.

    After dinner, Grandpa asked Kevin to play9classics—Ode to Joy and Oh, Susanna. Grandpa said, "I think you're 10 than I was at your age."

    Any other time, Grandpa's praise would have made Kevin feel great. But not this time. "I'm 11about the dent," he explained what had happened.

    To Kevin's surprise, Grandpa smiled, "Instruments become part of12when you play them a lot. You can't always protect them. The13thing is that you told me."

    Grandpa pointed to the scratches opposite the dent Kevin had made. "I got these when I fell over it14one night."

    "So I'm not the only clumsy(笨拙的)  one in the family?" Kevin said.

    Grandpa laughed, "Every dent and scratch can tell a story, and15you stick with it, someday you'll have your own."

    Grandpa handed the trumpet back to Kevin. "Now tell me a story with music."

    Kevin lifted the trumpet and filled the room with happy noise.
