Have you ever _______ the story about moths(蛾)? Sometimes a story can change people’s ideas. This story certainly makes a _______. It’s a beautiful and touching story.

When I was about six _______ old, my younger brother David and I visited our aunt, Mary. We stayed in her house for a night. David was only 4 years old, and was still _______ of the dark, so Mary left the hall light on when we slept.

However, David _________ the grey moths flying around the hall light. He asked Mary to make the moths go away. When she asked _______, he simply said, “Because they are ugly and scary, I don’t like them.” Mary laughed and said, “Being ugly outside doesn’t _______ not being beautiful inside. In fact, moths are one of the most _______ animals in the world.”

“One day, a moth saw the angels _______. They were sad because it was raining heavily. The ________ little moths hated to see others so sad. They decided to make a rainbow(彩虹) to cheer up the angels. They thought if the butterflies(蝴蝶)________, they could make a beautiful rainbow together.”

“Then one of the moths went to ask the butterflies for help. But the butterflies didn’t want to________ any of their colors, so the moths decided to make a rainbow themselves. They beat their wings very hard and the colors on them ________ a rainbow. They kept giving a little more and a little more________ the rainbow went across the sky.

When I was about twelve years old, a girl in my class liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). She said I was very thin; I wasn't good at math; I talked too much; I was too proud, and so on. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, and asked, "Are those things true or not? Jane, didn't you ever think about what you're really like?" Then he added, "Well, you have that girl's opinions. Make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true."

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found out that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change, like being very thin, but many I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy, and he said, "Now you know better about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears angrily and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of great help to you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do. "

Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I've never had a better piece of advice.
