One day a few years ago we had a guest of the uninvited variety. In fact, it was a bird, 1 a sparrow.

“What’s that?” I asked when I first heard the gentle thumping(重击声). “It sounds like Joe is outside playing basketball,” my wife, Anita, said. She 2 and listened more devotedly. “It’s coming from the 3 .” she said. “Maybe it’s one of the little kids.”

We rushed out the door. Jonathan, our youngest, was 4 to make trouble. “If he’s making holes in the wall again…” I said as I searched there. No children 5 . But there was that 6 again, coming from right up there.

And that’s when I 7 the sparrow. It was flying 8 just inches below the ceiling. It was 9 trying to get out, but couldn’t see that the way out wasn’t up, but down 10 the open door. So the bird continued 11 its wings and hitting its head against the 12 .

“Poor thing,” Anita said. “It must be 13 .”

“Well, maybe it’s because of us,” I said as I moved toward it. I tried to show the bird how to glide（滑翔） down to get outside, but that only seemed to 14 it more. “Why don’t we just 15 for a few minutes?” Anita suggested. “I’m sure he’ll 16 eventually.” So we went back into the house, where we continued to hear the ongoing 17 .Then suddenly, it was silent. We looked into the garage, and our uninvited guest was gone.

“See?” Anita said. “I told you he’d succeed.”

“Yeah,” I said. “But how many knocks on the head did it 18 him?”

I’ve thought about that little sparrow through the years. Just like that sparrow, we often meet situations we don’t know how to 19 . Born to go upward, we don’t even consider the possibility that something good might happen if we stop flapping（拍打）around and just glide 20 a little bit.

Asking for help was not what I thought it would be. 51 , it was a very good thing. I actually felt smarter for it, and it was a really satisfying 52 . In fact, I plan on asking for help as 53 as possible. But I have found that I can still be 54 and ask for help when I need it. The only stupid question is the one you didn’t 55 .

“I’m going to make you attractive,” said Mika Hill, looking at the 21 of the woman sitting before her．The women once had long, 22 , dark hair．But alopecia（秃头症） had 23 her just a little of it．Hill, a wig（假发） maker, was about to change that．

Hill enrolled（注册） in a wig-making 28 in New York．Back home with what she learned, she started making wigs that she planned to 29 for $300 each．

“Seeing their self-confidence 39 after they try on their wigs,” says Hill, “brings 40 to my eyes．This is a job for me, and a most rewarding one．”
