Many things happened over the years, but I still remember a gift from my mother in my third grade.
I had been p1 to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had practised my lines so hard with me. But no matter how e2 I acted at home, as soon as I stepped on stage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator's(旁白) part, and asked me to change r3. Her words were kindly expressed, but hurt me, e4 when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn't tell my mother what had happened. But she sensed my pain. Instead of s5 we should practise my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
It was spring and the rose vine(藤) was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions(蒲公英). “I'm going to dig all these weeds,” mother said, pulling one dandelion up by its r6. “Then we'll have only roses in this garden.” “But I like dandelions,” I disagreed. “All flowers are beautiful, even dandelions.” My mother looked at me seriously, “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way. And that is t7 of people too.” She added, “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no s8 in that.” Moved by the fact that she had understood my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled comfortably.
As years passed by, I realized that my m9 gift was more than just a kindness for flowers. It was the a10 to find beauty during hard times to deal with life's disappointments, just like the modest dandelion. And though there are all the difficulties, I've learned to bloom in my own way.
