Once a gentleman was traveling in a train. He felt 1 and got down at a station to look for some water. But when he got to the water tap, the train had started. He ran back but 2 the train.

    It was getting late and he decided to spend the night at the station. The next morning he asked about the next 3. He came to know that the next train was on the other day. So he decided to find a place for a day's stay. It was getting 4 and he could not find a place near the station.

    At last he reached a small village. He asked a villager 5 he could stay in his house for a night. The villager agreed. The villager cooked him food and 6 him a room to stay. But he did not ask for anything in return.

    At seven in the evening, the gentleman heard a knock at the door. The villager opened the door. It was a7 man in black. He asked the man to pay his debts (债务).

    The next morning, the gentleman 8 some money on the bed. When the villager found the money, he also found a note. It said: "You 9 me but didn't want any pay from me.

    Yesterday I heard the conversation between you and the rich man. I knew that you were in need of 7  10. This is what you need."

    Imagine a life without arms or legs! You can't hold anyone in your 1 . You can't walk anywhere with your feet. How would you last a day like that? Would you 2 at yourself in the mirror(镜子) like Nick Vujicic, the 29-year-old Australian？

    Nick was born without limbs(四肢), so life was not3 for him. At school many students played jokes on him 4 he looked different from everyone else. He was refused to be 5 friends, so he always felt 6.

    However, he faced that bravely. He 7 to type and write with two toes(脚趾) at the age of six, and he could8surf and play golf. In college, he achieved great success and was among the 9 students in the studies. And he decided on 10 to do later in his life--to encourage others to work hard for their dreams.

    Now Nick is one of the most popular 11 in the world. He travels to many countries and gives speeches about his story 12 difficulties. "Living life fully is about looking at what you 13 , not what you don't have. " he said. His 14encourages millions of people.

    "I tell people to keep on getting up when they 15and to always love themselves," he said. "If I can encourage just one person, then my job in this life is done."

    This morning I got an e-mail from Roy. It seems that my boy really enjoys his new life at Harvard University.

    The1 made me think of the day when we moved into this house.

    Little Roy ran around the new house with great2 and tried to move his own things into the house such as his toys, books and clothes. 3 , his little hand knocked over(打翻) a bottle of paint on the shelf. The paint made the tidy floor and white wall a terrible mess. "Oh, my God!" My wife rushed in angrily. I looked at my son, and his small face was filled with 4.

    I 5 and held his hand. "Take it easy, Roy. Now let's do something to make it look 6" I said. I took out a 7 "You see, Dad is a magician（魔术师).I can change it 8a big tree. "

    His mother soon helped paint some butterflies and flowers on the9.

    We spent the whole afternoon 10 and laughing. The wall became a beautiful 11 with plants, birds and small animals. Blue sky and white clouds were also painted by Roy. On that day, everybody in the house knew something 12 happened.

    The night before Roy left for Harvard, he asked me 13 I still remembered the day when he had knocked over the paint. "Since then I've 14worried about making mistakes," he said. "I believe I can always 15 ways to solve problems. And I know you and mom always support me, love me. I love you both."
