Stitch after stitch，Amy is embroidering（刺绣）her hand-made napkin．
“Well，Amy，how are you getting on？” cried Lizzy，whose _______ seemed to fly over her work．
“Not very fast，”replied quiet little Amy．Meanwhile, she didn’t _______ her eyes，“I have almost finished one side．”
“One side!”said Lizzy，with an unpleasant laugh，“Why，we both began sewing（缝制）at the same time，and I’m now at the fourth side of mine！”
“I know that I am _______，but I’ll try to be steady（稳的），and to do my best．”said the little girl，as she went on with her work．
“As I sew so fast，”cried Lizzy，“I’m sure to have finished my napkin _______ before the bell rings for dinner．I’ll just run for a minute to the garden，to see if the roses are out：”—so， leaving her work on a chair，Lizzy _______ out of the room．
Amy longed for the fresh air and the flowers，but her work must first be done．Steadily she laid down her broad hem and had finished the___________side of her napkin before her sister came back．
“Ah，you slow little thing！”cried Lizzy．“You will _______ get up to me．I’ll have time to go to my room and put up my new picture on the wall．”
Off went joyful little Lizzy，Amy went on with her work．Before her sister _______ the room again，the third side of her napkin was done．
“Had you not better finish your sewing？”said Amy．“It must be near the time for _______．”
“Oh! I can finish it in two minutes，only I want to read that storybook，which Tom told us was so funny．”
“What if you ______________？”
“No fear of that！”cried Lizzy，“No one is so likely to be as a slow little thing like you！
Poor Amy made no ______________， quietly she worked on．Lizzy was soon deep in her story and she forgot all about her ______________，till suddenly the sound of the bell woke her up．
“Can it be dinner-time”she cried．“Oh dear，and my napkin is not hemmed!And yours—”
“It is ______________ finished，”said Amy，as she quietly put it away．
“This is much like ‘The Hare and the Tortoise’，the faster，but not the winner，”thought Lizzy，who，though proud，had enough ______________ to take a lesson：The quick，proud may have the ______________，but the quiet，steady may do more in the end．
