Wings of Angel
I used to hate myself because I wasn’t “normal”.
Everyone else could pay on the monkey bars
and ride on a bicycle, but not 41 .
I had a severe spinal cord disorder(脊髓病) and I
knew I would always be much 42 than others.
I hated going to school and I hated people
43 at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing
44 and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the
45 and seeing my ugly hunchback.(驼背)
My friends found me 46 because
I didn’t let others get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this
for the rest of my life 47 Angela appeared.
That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of
the school--- a spot where no one would 48 me.
That’s when I first heard her voice.
“Hi. Can I sit down?”
I raised my head and there she was, with an
irresistible smile on her round face.
“What are you looking at?” she asked.
“Ants.”
“What are they doing?”
“No 49 .”
“I bet they’re playing games and making friends. Don’t
you think so?”
That was how our 50 started and
it didn’t stop. We talked about everything under the sun---the ants, the
clouds, my little niche(处境)---until it was sunset.
Then suddenly, she saw my 51 .
She just started.
My heart 52 . What I feared most had
happened and I knew for sure she would 53 me now.
She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know
54 your back is hunched.”
I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be
55 . I begged in my heart for her to 56 , but she
just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”
“No,” I answer 57 .
She bent and whispered in my ears.
“Your back is hunched because you’ve got a pair of
wings from the angels.”
I was 58 . I looked into her eyes
and her 59 touched my heart. From that day on, I
started to learn to 60 myself because I have the wings
of an angel and a kind-hearted friend.
