Surrounded by rolling green hills dotted with horses and cows, the town of Waimea on Hawaii’s Big Island is a peaceful and friendly place. One afternoon, while staying with friends at their house there, my husband and I decided to go for a    36  along the many, mostly traffic-free, country lanes in the area.
We met a beautiful Golden Retriever. He seemed     37   friendly so we stopped to play with him,    38  a stick which he retrieved(取回) several times happily. When we    39   our walk, he followed us, and although I worried that he    40   be going too far from his home, I couldn’t deny that we were enjoying his    41  .
After about twenty minutes, we found ourselves walking along a dirt road in an unfamiliar area. One house, almost hidden by shrubbery(灌木林) and shaded by tall trees,seemed    42  strange. I felt an urge to be as far away from that place as possible.
Just then, the door to the house creaked open and five dogs    43  , barking and growling as they ran toward us. I felt   44  and couldn’t move. There was nowhere to    45   and no time to run..
All of a sudden, our new friend appeared between the dogs and us. He faced them – all five of them – growling and baring his teeth. I was    46   to see the attacking dogs stop in their tracks ten feet away from him. Our protector    47  them there while we escaped.    48   a safe distance, we looked back and saw the five dogs   49  back toward their house.
But the Golden Retriever was    50   in sight. I felt an ache in my   51  ; I missed our friend already. Instinctively, I knew he was not hurt. With a feeling of   52  , we made our way back to the house,   53  the whole way that we would see him again. But it was not to be.
When I told our friend about the encounter, her eyes flew wide open   54  she exclaimed, “It was an angel!”
To this day I have no   55  that a four-legged angel protected us.

“Hey, Jenna, do you think we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two?” I asked my friend.It was clear that she was wondering where I had come up with such a question.Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister.We hung out together.We gave each other advice.

         “Of course, we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two.” Jenna announced loudly.

         The next year, in the fourth grade, we met Jamie.The three of us soon became close friends.We played together almost every day.I thought even time couldn’t pull us apart, but I was sadly mistaken.

         The three of us started fighting a lot.Before Christmas, we had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy.I felt helpless and lonely.I thought Christmas would be horrible!

         I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me an awesome Christmas card she had made for me.I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me.

         “Wow, ” I said, breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door.“Thanks.”

         “Okay…well…I have to go,” she said softly.

         “Okay.See you later then…” and I closed the door.

         “Who was that at the door?” my mum asked.

         The card started off with “Merry Christmas”, but then it said, “I am so glad we’re friends.I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting.A fight won’t stop us from being friends.Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when we’re eight-two.”

         I stopped reading and started laughing.I couldn’t believe I had forgotten what she said that day in her backyard.I couldn’t believe I had been so selfish in making my friends feel sorry for me that I had forgotten about real friendship.
