Question

As a young child, I was quiet and shy. And I was ill for a long time. Since my parents has to

work. I spent a lot of time at my grandparent’s home. While my grandmother cleaned the house and cooked, my grandfather played with me.

I was six when my grandfather died. A few months before he died, he gave me a beautiful blue

and white blanket (毯子). I loved the blanket very much because it made me think of my

grandfather. But after a few years, the blanket didn’t look very good. It had holes and was dirty. I

didn’t want to throw the blanket away, so my mother made the blanket into a book bag. I was proud

of the book bag, and I used it to carry my books to school every day for a few years. Then the book bag was broken. I begged my mother to make something out of it. She made it into a pencil-box. After a

few months, the pencil-box was broken, too. By then I could sew (缝), and I made the pencil-box

into a small wallet.

I used it for three years, but one day I lost it. I felt sad. My friends and family said, “Forget

about it, Paul. You can’t make something out of nothing.”
