“Leave him alone,”I shouted as I walked out of the orphanage(孤儿院)gate and saw several of the Spring Park School bullies(欺负弱者的人)pushing the deaf kid around．I did not know the boy at all 1 I knew that we were about the same age, because of his size．He lived in the old white house across the street from the orphanage where I 2 ．I had seen him on his front covered entrance several times doing absolutely nothing, except just sitting there making funny hand movements．
In the summer time we didn’t get much to eat 3 Sunday supper, except watermelon and then we had to eat it behind the dining room so we would not make a mess on the 4 inside．The only time that I would see him was through the high chain-link fence that surrounded the 5 when we ate our watermelon outside．
The deaf kid started making all kinds of hand 6 , really fast．“You are a stupid idiot,”said the bigger of the two bullies 7 he pushed the boy down on the ground．The other bully ran around behind the boy and kicked him as hard as he could in the back．The deaf boy’s body started 8 all over and he curled up in a ball trying to protect and hide his face．He looked like he was trying to cry, or something but he just couldn’t make any 9 ．
I ran as fast as I could back through the orphanage gate and into the thick bushes．I uncovered my home-made bow which I had 10 out of bamboo and string．I grabbed four arrows that were also made of bamboo．Then I ran back out the gate with an arrow lifted in the 11 and I just stood there quietly, breathing really hard just 12 either one of them to kick or touch the boy again．
Don’t go to Kauai．Go to any of the other Hawaiian Islands－Maui, Lanai, the Big Island－but leave Kauai for us．The weather on Kauai is so unpredictable(不可预测的)that sometimes it rains all day－in fact, it’s the second-wettest spot on the earth．Yes, there are giant double rainbows all the time, and the sunlight through the clouds is magical．But if you are not interested in these, go somewhere else．You just can’t control the nature on Kauai, and who wants to surrender(屈服)to the nature when you could be at a fine hotel, lying in a comfortable chair next to a swimming pool, with food served upon request?
So what if Kauai produces surf champions the way Texas produces cowboys？Most of its 300 white-sand beaches are unmarked．Unless you connect with the local people, the hidden spots are hard to find．While Hanalei is the most beautiful town you’ve ever dreamed of, you can forget about discos and clubs．Worse, it doesn’t have one single four-star restaurant．What it does have is the original drive－through places where you pass by a rambutan tree(红毛丹树), and pick a piece of fruit．
Shopping in Kauai? Forget it－unless you are interested in shell necklaces and beautifully carved wood bowls．Kauai is not about pampering．It’s about going natural and finding the nature within you．It’s a do-it-yourself place that offers walking along the coast, diving and swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and lying on the beach．
Don’t go to Kauai unless you have a lot of time, because there’s only one road, which can be slightly dull．It winds through the beautiful scenery of waterfalls, rivers flowing into the ocean, and taro(芋头)fields．You have no choice but to look at everything, because the speed limit is 35 m. p. h．
If you’re not interested in color, don’t bother with Kauai, because that’s what you get－red roads, blue oceans, and a hundred different shades of green．It’s like diving on land．Many people on Kauai believe that this is Lemuria－a lost island in the Atlantic．Can you imagine? Those Hawaiians, surfers, New Agers, and people who love nature and beauty and want a different quality of life－what do they know, anyway? Forget about it－you’re not going to like it．Go somewhere else．Leave Kauai for us．
