“Mommy, I got something for you!” Cody ran through the door after school. His face wore the biggest smile ever. He waved something above his head. “It's a pen. But not just any pen. It's a lucky pen!” He handed me the pen 1 , waiting for my reaction（反应）.

I looked at the pen in my hand. There was nothing 2 about it. It looked just like any other ballpoint pen. I had a drawer full of them. At that moment, I didn't realize how special it was or how much I would come to treasure（珍爱）it.

I had made the decision to be a(n) 3 . I had dreamed about it for a long time but I was afraid of being refused by the publishing houses. The night before, I told my husband my 4 when I thought Cody wasn't listening. “What if 5 likes my writing and I fail?” But Cody did 6 what I said. Now he stood in front of me, watching me examine the pen. “You don't have to be afraid now,” he said. “This pen will make your 7 great and everyone will love you.”

Tears filled my eyes. Refusal and failure didn't seem like such a big problem any more. Even if I 8 sold the first book, I had everything I could ever need. I knew that pen would bring me luck, though. And I felt 9 already, just by having Cody in my life, especially when I heard what he did to get it.

In the lunchroom, Cody heard an older boy talking about having a lucky 10 . He decided to get it for me. The boy was a tough negotiator(强硬的谈判者) but Cody didn't 11 . In the end, he 12 his favorite Matchbox car, two army men his brother gave him, a crayon, and a piece of candy—his most important things, for that pen. Just to make 13 feel better.

I still have that pen, though it's long out of ink, in a cup on my desk. When a refusal letter arrives and I start feeling 14 , I look at it and remember just how lucky I am. For while I value that pen, it's Cody who I really 15 in my life.

One day when I was six, Grandpa sent me into the woods to gather pecans for us to enjoy.

Pecan picking was really tiring work and my little basket was only half full. When I was in {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, something attracted me. A large brown squirrel a few feet away picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and disappeared in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later he crawled out of his hiding place and climbed down to the ground. Once again, he took another pecan back to his home.

No more a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was filled with pecans! Handful by handful, I scooped all those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I couldn't wait to show Grandpa all the pecans. "Well, well, how did you find so many?" He asked. I told him what I did.

Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I'd been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that {#blank#}3{#/blank#} me. He handed the basket back to me, "That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter food," he said {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. "Now that all of his pecans are gone, do you think the little squirrel will survive the cold winter? A good person should {#blank#}5{#/blank#} take advantage of someone else's hard work."

I felt so guilty that I hurried back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.

I didn't eat any pecans that night, but I had the satisfaction of knowing I had done just the right thing.
