Question

As a child，there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm.   26  by miles of winding stone walls，the house provided endless hours of   27  for a city kid.

I can still remember one afternoon  28   I was eight years old. I’d wanted more than anything to be   29  to climb the walls surrounding the property. The walls were old；some stones were   30  ，others loose. Still，my yearning（向往）to scramble（攀登）across those walls   31   so strong that finally，one spring afternoon，I took all my   32  and entered the living room，where the   33   had gathered after Sunday dinner.

“I，I want to climb the stone walls，”I said hesitantly（犹豫地）.  34  a chorus(异口同声) went up from the women in the room. “Heavens，no！”they cried，“You’ll hurt yourself！”I wasn’t too   35  ；the    36  was just as I’d expected. Just  37  I would leave the room，I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now wait a minute. ”I heard him say，“Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things  38  ” .

For the next two hours I climbed those old walls and had the time of my life. Later I told my grandfather about my  39   . I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred，”he said，smiling，“you made this day a (an)  40  day just by being yourself. Always remember，there’s only one person in this whole world like you，and I like you  41  as you are. ”

Many years have passed   42  then，and today I’m a computer（主持人）in the television program   43  “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood”，seen by millions of children.

There have been   44  over the years，but one thing remains the same：my  45  left to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you，”The kids can hear me say，“and people would like you exactly as you are. ”
