When I was in Grade Three, I was chosen to play the lead role in the school play.

    For weeks my mother helped me1my lines (台词), but once on stage, every word disappeared2my head. Then my teacher asked me to change3 and be the narrator.

    Although I didn't tell my 4what had happened that day, she5my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard.

    It was a lovely6day.  It was warm.  In the yard all the flowers came out. We could see lots of dandelions (蒲公英) dancing among the colorful flowers.  How beautiful they were! I watched my mother carelessly bend down by some flowers.  "I think I am going to7all the useless grass." She said.

    "But I like dandelions," I said, "All flowers are 8 —even dandelions".

    My mother looked at me9"Yes, every flower shines in its own way, doesn't it?" she said. I nodded. "So that is10of people, too." She added.

    She had guessed my11 I started to cry and told her the truth.

    "You will be a great narrator." She said. Then she told me 12I loved to read stories to her when I was in Grade One.

    Over the next few13I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally14.A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me.  "Your mother asked me to give this to you," she said, passing me a dandelion.  After the play, I took the flower home, laughing that I was perhaps15 person who would keep such a common dandelion.

    Once upon a time, there was a hungry fox that was looking for something to eat. He was very 1. No matter how hard he tried, the fox could not find any food. 2 he went to the side of the forest and looked for food there. He found a big tree 3 a hole in it.

    Inside the hole was a package. The hungry fox thought that there 4 be food in it, and he became very happy. He jumped into the hole and when he 5 the package, he saw there 6 lot of food in it!

    The fox happily began to eat. After the fox had finished 7, he felt thirsty and decided to leave the hole 8 drink some water. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not get out of the hole. Do you know 9? Yes, the fox had eaten so much food that he became 10 big to go through the hole.

    Peter and Mike are very good friends. They are in the same class at school. They often go to school and play t{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, and they often visit each other's home at weekends, too.

    Now they are b{#blank#}2{#/blank#} eight years old. Peter's mother has got a new baby. Peter is very glad to have a little brother, so he is always talking about his younger brother to Mike.

    At first Mike is very interested in the new baby because he doesn't have any sisters or brothers. But after some time he begins to get tired of Peter's endless talking about it. He also feels a little jealous (嫉妒) of his friend.

    One morning before class, when the two boys m{#blank#}3{#/blank#} at the school gate, Peter says to Mike cheerfully, "Do you know, Mike, my little brother, has put on nearly half a pound in weight this week."

    "That's not much at all," answers Mike. "I know a baby who can put on more than ten pounds a day."

    "Oh, that can't be t{#blank#}4{#/blank#}," answers Peter. "W{#blank#}5{#/blank#} baby is it?"

    "An elephant's," says Mike.

I stood by the window, Looking at the gray sky and snowy ground. A woman crossed the street, with a thick scarf, looking cold and unhappy.

 The morning was ideal for reading, so I turned on the light and lay in bed with a book. The phone rang, and I heard my mum agree to something, mentioning my name. Curious,I wondered what was happening.

 Mum entered and told me Uncle Sam was taking me to Sparrow Hills. Unwilling to leave on such a cold day,I hesitated(犹豫) but didn't want to disappoint Mum, so I put on my blue sweater. The doorbell rang, and Uncle Sam asked if I was ready.

"I suppose," I replied, grabbing a warm wool hat. We headed to the station, catching the train to Sparrow Hills. The train is warm, and my body started to relax.

"Can we just stay on the train?" I said as the train stopped. Uncle Sam softly pulled me up and said, "You will miss all the fun."

 Outside, the wind was blowing strongly. The trees were shining and they swung in the wind.

"I don't know how long I can stay out here," I said as we started to walk uphill. He pulled me closer to the trees and said, "Listen!"

 At first, I heard only the wind. Then came a jingling and chiming(叮叮当当). "That's the music in winter," My uncle said. I pulled my hat up to free my cars. The branches(树枝) sounded like hundreds of bells ringing, jingling and chiming. I was surprised and I stood still, looking at the icy branches hitting each other and leaves swinging in the wind. Then we climbed to the top of Sparrow Hills and looked down. The snow-covered trees made buildings appear brighter. Then the sun broke through the clouds.

"The sun is shining!" I shouted. Uncle Sam smiled and said, "The sun is always shining. You just need to climb high enough to see it."

I walked into the Huddle House Restaurant in Brunswick, Georgia and sat down at the table. I picked up the menu and was to order something for breakfast.

"Excuse me,"

I looked up and 1 a nice-looking woman standing before me.

"Is your name Roger?"2 asked.

"Yes," I answered, feeling rather surprised as I had never seen her before.

"My name' s Barbara and my 3 is Tony," She said, pointing to a middle-aged man sitting alone at the table by the window. He was 4 and weak.

"Tony White, from Landon School in Jacksonville, Florida," she added.

I looked at that man for a few seconds 5 I didn't know him.

"I'm really sorry. The name doesn't ring the bell," I said.

 She walked back, began 6 with her husband and once in a while I saw her turn around and look at me.

I ordered breakfast and a cup of 7 , sitting there, trying to remember who this   Tony was. "I 8 know him, "I thought to myself. "He knows me for some-reason." I picked up the coffee cup. All of a sudden(突然), it came to me like a flash af lightning.(一道闪电)

"Tony, the bully(霸凌者), the bad boy!" I could 9 believe (相信) my eyes. "My God! He's so thin now. Not the big boy that I 10 from back in 1997."

 Everything came up to my mind. The time this 11 boy had made fun of my big ears in front of the girls in my class, and the time this big bully had pushed.(推) The against the walls in the hallway just to make himself 12 a big man to all other students.

"I am sorry, Roger," Tony rolled by me in the wheelchair (轮椅), being pushed by his wife, raising his thin, shaking hand. "I am so sorry for 13 that I did to you."

"I'm... I'm er..." I didn't know 14 to say to him.

 After a few months, I got a letter from Barbara. Tony was 15 . Tony had been a fireman and had been seriously wounded(受伤) in a task.

 How I regretted(后悔) for not saying something to him but I no longer had the chance!
