    One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried 1 for hours as the farmer tried to figure out 2 to do. Finally he decided the animal was 3 and the well needed to be 4 up anyway, so it just wasn't 5 it to rescue the donkey.

    He invited all his 6 to come over and help him. They all grabbed (握起) a shovel (铁铲) and began to shovel 7 into the well. At first, the donkey 8 what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's 9, he was quiet.

    A few shovel loads later, the farmer looked 10 the well and was 11 at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that 12 his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would 13 it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors 14 to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take another 15 up. Pretty soon, everyone was surprised as the donkey stepped up over the 16 of the well and ran off.

    Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The best way of 17 out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our 18 is a stepping-stone. We can get out of the deepest 19just by not stopping, never 20! Shake it off and take a step upward!

    We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had been 1  our garbage cans to the garage each garbage day, and Jim and I had wondered 2. Then one day we 3 him: an elderly man who lived across the street.

    I baked cookies and left them on a chair outside the garage 4 a thank-you note. When we got home from work that day, a typed letter had replaced the 5. The letter was from Tom and explained how he had come to 6 the neighborhood on garbage day, returning cans for people he 7 knew. Back when he'd been fighting a war I wasn't alive to see, his young wife, Gee, had found herself living alone. Neighbors had taken the time to 8 her garbage cans so 9 didn't have to, and he 10 forgot. Now he paid it forward by doing the same for all of us.

    A few years after we'd moved in, Tom died. We photocopied that letter and 11 it to one of our own for Gee. We told her how 12 Tom had been to us, how sad we felt sorry for her, how thankful we were to have 13 him. She wrote back and told us she still talked to Tom every day.

    These days, we're planning a 14. The house that seemed so huge six years ago is filled with furniture and books and toys and, of course, people. We know it's time to go, and 15  we can't seem to stick the For Sale sign up on the lawn. Gaining a third bedroom sometimes seems like an awful trade for all we stand to 16.

    It's not just Gee. It's the man who lets our kids pick peaches off the tree in his front yard. It's the ladies who 17 Jim when their pool filter (过滤器) breaks and leave overflowing baskets for our kids on Easter. It's the police officer living directly across from us, who smiles and waves and makes me feel a little 18 when Jim is away.

    The moving boxes are still neatly packed in our basement, but Jim and I agree to 19 until January. Maybe before leaving I'll talk to Tom, just as Gee still does. Thank you, I'll say, for teaching us what it means to be a 20.

    One day, when I was a teenager, I was home along doing two of my favourite things: I was eating a huge plate of spaghetti and mealbails and I was 1.

    At the time, my family pet bird - a big white cockatoo named Luke was free from his 2 and flying around inside the house. Luke, which wasn't3 to use real words, was chucking (咯咯地叫) away, 4 me, but I wasn't paying attention to him. I was 5 on reading my detective book. 6 Luke decided to get closer and before I 7 it, he'd landed right on top of my spaghetti and meatbails! I was so surprised - my mind went8. My reaction was the same as yours would be: I shooed (用"嘘"声吓唬)him off my food! This wouldn't have been so bad 9 one thing: Luke had 10 my spaghetti. So when he 11 again, the spaghetti still winded in his12 went flying everywhere. He landed on my shirt. He hit me in the 13. As I pulled noodles out of my hair, Luke 14 spaghetti sauce all the way. He wasn't15, except for his16the sauce in his beautiful white 17 turned him splotchy (油渍斑斑的)orange for several weeks.

    See how funny spaghetti can be? And see how 18 reading can be? So go ahead and enjoy a good book. But if you like to read while you eat, you'd better keep an eye on your food. And if you find a19 novel at the 20 with red, splotchy (油渍斑斑的)spots on two pages near the middle, you'll know that I've read that book, too!
