Our art teacher George was leaving soon for his country. I was preparing a special 1 for him. It was a hand-drawn picture book about our school. I worked a long time, trying to make each picture as 2 as possible.
One day, I was drawing while my little sister Becky was watching with great 3. Just then, my classmate Jeff dropped by.
“Hi! Peter, want to play basketball in the yard?” he asked.
“I'd like to, 4 it's too cold outside!” I replied.
“Exactly!” he said. “It's the perfect weather for not getting too hot.”
That's a cool thing about Jeff. He always looks on the 5 side of almost everything.
“Let's go!” We went out, leaving the drawings on the table.
We laughed as we returned. When I 6 the door, my heart nearly stopped. Right there, Becky was coloring my pictures.
“7, Becky!” I rushed to her, but it was too late. Almost every page was colored.
“What did you do?” I shouted 8.
“I just wanted to help.” She began to cry.
“My drawings are gone forever!” I felt frustrated(懊恼的) and 9 Jeff for help.
“Unless. . .” said Jeff.
“Unless what?” I asked.
“Remember the jigsaw puzzle(拼图)? We can create something new from these messy pictures.” Jeff 10.
“Can we make it?” I doubted.
“I'm not sure, but we can have a 11.” He encouraged.
First, we cut the drawings into shapes, such as our brown teaching buildings, green playground and so on. Then, we 12 all these pieces together and made a jigsaw. Finally, we even added more paints. Days later, a beautiful “13” appeared in front of us.
There was a 14 ending.
“Thanks, guys,” George smiled, “I love it so much. It will give me many great 15 here.”
So, you see, there lies a beam(束) of light behind every dark cloud. Jeff's way of dealing with things did help.
