I know my brother better than anyone else in the world.Since the moment of his birth, I’ve been part of his life.I had spent seven 1 years in the world with the attention of those around me.But when Rohan was born, life 2 .Suddenly I had to 3 my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.
Finally, I felt my 4 at my brother.The poor baby had no idea what had made me so unhappy.Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this home 5 did not like him.Whatever the reason was, he loved 6 me around.However, I seldom talked to him and 7 asked him to leave me alone.
Then all that changed.I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago, 8 I do remember that I was feeling very angry.Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed.My hand, completely 9 from my mind, reached through the bars(护栏).At once, he reached his small hand and softly touched 10 .And that was all I needed.Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed 11 .How could I hate someone who made me feel so important? For the 12 time, I saw my brother, not through the eyes of a child who was no longer favoured(宠爱), but through the eyes of a 13 .
To this day, I can’t imagine life 14 my brother.It is unbelievable how much I have 15 about life from a seven-year-old boy.Above all, Rohan has taught me that one should not care only for himself.
Once there was a grasshopper(蚱蜢), who was the best hopper(跳跃者)in the world.She taught other grasshoppers how to hop.Soon all grasshoppers were hopping well, so she felt very 1 .
Then one day an eagle showed up.She immediately 2 to teach the eagle how to hop, as she was sure that hopping was the key to 3 , but every time she advised the eagle to hop, he just said,“There is no need.You are 4 with hopping, but I can fly.”
“Stop this silly talking of flying!”screamed the grasshopper.“Flying is 5 in your imagination.”
The next day, some of the grasshoppers went to talk to the eagle.“How is it that you don’t know how to hop, yet you still talk of flying?It 6 our teacher’s orders.
“Hopping is useful, but when you can fly, it is no longer 7 .” said the eagle.
“Tell us more,”said the grasshoppers.
The eagle began telling them what the world 8 he grass fields was like.It was a world that included mountains, rivers and oceans(海洋).
Then the eagle took one 9 grasshopper in his powerful talon(K)to the sky.The grasshopper could see the mountains, rivers and oceans that the eagle had 10 .
After the eagle landed, he saw a spark(闪光)in the grasshopper’s eyes.The grasshopper told others what he had seen in the sky.Therefore, the grasshoppers dreamt of flying in the sky.
