Our dog Abbey died last month. My 4-year-old daughter Lucy missed her a lot and asked if we could write a (A) __________to God to make sure he could (B) look after Abbey well. I told Lucy that I thought we could, and she dictated (口述) these words:

Dear God,

    Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got (C) sick. I hope you will play with her. She likes to swim and play with balls. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.

Love,

Lucy

    We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Lucy and addressed it to God/Heaven. Yesterday, we received a package addressed "To Lucy" with this note:

Dear Lucy,

    Abbey has arrived in heaven.

    (D) 她不再生病。Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. You don't need to worry about (E) her. She's being looked after very well here. Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. You have a wonderful mother. I send my blessings every day and remember that I (F) __________you very much. (G) By the way, I'm easy to find. I am wherever there is love.

Resting my head on Helen's shoulder,I put my arms round her waist.She drew me to her,and we rested in silence.

We had not sat long before another person came in.

Some heavy clouds,swept from the sky by a rising wind,had left the moon bright;and her light,coming in through a window near,shone full both on us and on the coming person,Miss Temple

"I came on purpose to find you.Jane Eyre,"said she."I want you in my room, and as Helen Burns is with you,she may come too."

We followed Miss Temple to her apartment.It had a good fire,and looked cheerful.Miss Temple told Helen Burns to be seated in a low arm-chair on one side of the fireplace,and herself asking another,she called me to her side.

"Is it all over?"she asked,looking down at my face."Have you cried your sadness away?"

"I am afraid I never shall do that."

"Why?"

"Because I have been wrongly accused(指责),and you and everybody else,will now think me a bad girl."

"We shall think you what you prove yourself to be,my child.Continuo lo act as a good girl,and you will satisfy us."

"Shall I,Miss Temple?"

"You will."said MissTemple,"You have been accused of lying when you were little.Tell us the truth,but add nothing and exaggerate(奇大)nothing. "

I made up my mind that I would be most modest and most correct.Having thought for a few minutes about where to start,I told her all the story of my sad childhood.

 When the Spring Festival comes, red flowers bloom(开) on the windows of my home. Of course, these wonderful flowers bring1 to us. They are made by my grandma 2 is now aged 70. With a few cuts, she changes a piece of paper into a beautiful work of art.

 When my grandma was young, she3 clumsy(笨拙的) in the village. But4 a cold winter night, she saw some beautiful red paper art works on her new neighbor's windows. She was so interested in it and decided 5 from her neighbor.

6 of paper was wasted, and her fingers were cut many times. But she kept on 7 .

 It took 10 years 8 my grandma could make paper art skillfully (娴熟地) . The red flowers, blooming like burning fire, light up 9 world. Now, everyone in the village respects her. My grandma's story has shown me what10 to realize one's dream.

Long long ago, there was a king. He ate too nuch and never did any exercise. 

One day, the king found that he couldn't move because he was too fat. People laughed at(嘲笑) him and called him"the fat king". The king was sad. Then he invited many doctors to help him with his situation, but it didn't work. 

Later, a wise(有智慧的) woman said she could help him. The woman asked the king to come to her on foot, but he still felt happy because there was someone who might change his situation. 

When the king got to the wise woman's home, the woman asked him to come on foot the next day. The next day when he arrived, the guard(守卫) told the king to meet the woman the next day. The king was a little bored but was not angry. The same situation went on for two weeks, but the king never met the wise woman. 

After two weeks, the king found himself lighter and more active. How excited he was! He understood why the wise woman asked him to see her on foot. He began to make more changes in his lifestyle. . . 

"Aly, I know you took the money." 

"I didn't take the money, Grandma. 1 you love me, you should believe me."

Her anger came from a deep place. 2 her would only cause her anger to rise. So I tried a different way.

"I love you, Aly. I don't understand3 you took my money, but I want you to know you don't have to4 from me. When you love someone, you share what you have. You can keep the money you took, and I will also give you anything else you want. What else do you need?"

She 5 me, "I didn't take your money! I don't want your things!" 

I went to the kitchen and picked up my6 cup. "It is one of my favorite cups." I put7 on the table in front of her. "You can have this cup." She looked surprised.

Then I started gathering other things and placing them before her. "Take this ring. Take this scarf. Take this..."

She said, "No, Grandma, no. Stop it!" But I 8 putting others on the table. As the things grew, the fire left her eyes, her9 dropped, and then her thin shoulders began to shake with crying. Only then did I stop and put my arms 10 her. "I love you, Aly. Just ask me for what you want but no stealing."

She didn't admit guilt(认错), but the money11 again. Aly didn't change12 , but she did change. Aly is a high school student now, and an almost straight A student. She has learned to13 people's feelings. She is smart and funny sometimes. I am so proud of the wonderful young woman she has become.

Now I can leave any money lying around. I know14 that she will not take it. She has not stolen from me since that first time. Sometimes, 15 is the best punishment you can give a child.
