She is a beautiful red-haired girl. She has been
shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. It was 1 outside. We all
stood there under the 2 , just outside the door.
Her voice was so sweet that it 3
the dull (沉闷的) surroundings (环境). “Mom, let’s run through the rain,” she said.
“What?” Mom asked.
“Let’s run through the rain!” she repeated.
“No, honey. We’ll wait 4
it slows down a bit,” Mom replied.
This young child waited about another 5
and repeated: “Mom, let’s run through the rain.”
“We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said.
“No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this
morning,” the young girl said as she 6 her Mom’s arm.
“This morning? When did I say we could run through the
rain and not get wet?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were 7 to
Daddy about his cancer, you said, ‘If God can get us through this, he can get
us through 8 !”
The crowd became 9 . Nothing could
be heard but the rain. No one came or left in the next few minutes.
Mom thought for a moment about what she would say.
“Honey, you are right. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we’ll
just need to get a wash.” Mom said.
Then off they ran. People all stood watching, smiling
and laughing as they rushed past the cars and through the puddles(水坑). They held their shopping bags over their heads.
They got wet through. But they were 10 by a few who laughed
like children all the way to their cars.
People can take away your money and health. But no one
can ever take away your memories… So don’t forget to make time to make memories
every
day.
