After a while I got tired and decided to return. When I turned around, I6 found my way home, but I felt7 rather than being proud. I could see the mark of destruction(破坏)that I left in the woods. I promised never to do that again. Instead, I started to value my time alone in the woods. I'd sit by the streams(小溪)and 8 their beautiful singing. I'd bend down(弯下腰)to 9 the flowers.

    I've tried to leave marks of kindness and goodness since then. I've tried to show others 10 they can do the same. May you always leave marks of joy in your life.
