A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had loved a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his father could well   16   it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As   17   drew near, the young man expected   18   that his father had bought the car. Finally, on the morning of the special day, his father called him into his study. His father told him how   19   he was to have such a fine son, and how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped (包装好的) gift box. Curious, but a little bit   20  , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible (圣经).
Angrily, he raised his   21   to his father and said, “Is a Bible   22   you can give me with all your money?” He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years   23   and the young man was very successful in business, but   24   his father was very old, he thought perhaps he   25   go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day.   26   he could make the arrangements (安排), he received a telegram which   27   him of his father’s death, and all the possessions (财产) willed (立遗嘱) to him.
  28   arriving at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to   29   through his father’s important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had   30   it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to   31  . As he was reading, a car   32   dropped from the back of the Bible.
How many times do we   33   blessings (祝福) because they are not wrapped as we expected? Do not spoil (搞糟) what you have by desiring (渴求) what you have not; but remember what you now have was once   34   the things you hoped for. What may appear as bad fortune (运气) may   35   be the door that is just waiting to be opened.

I have always been an independent person, but I have come to know that being independent does not mean refusing help. I may still be   16   with asking for help, but I try to accept. Furthermore, I will even   17   help and when my offers are refused, I am   18   willing to walk away. And all these changes came from a disaster on an island.

Sometimes a person’s independence is a   19   of pride, daring, stubbornness and luck. I used to be too   20   since I was little. I was once a traveler who never asked for   21  , choosing instead to struggle with maps and signs until I found my way.

Then one day on the island of Koh Phangan, in Thailand, everything   22  . I was swimming in the ocean with Sean, my fiancé, when he was   23   by a box jellyfish(箱型水母). He   24  within three minutes, 25 years old. Yet when onlookers and travelers asked if I wanted   25  , stubborn pride and force of habit   26   me accepting. But two young Israeli women stayed.   27   my protest(反对), they were with me even when the police tried to cover up the   28   of Sean’s death. It was listed as drunk drowning to avoid hurting the   29   industry. The Israeli women   30   have walked away.   31  , without even telling me, they   32   their schedule rather than leave me behind.

  33   I didn’t realize it at that time, I would not have   34   the disaster without these great women. Actually, the person who needs help the most is usually the last person to ask for it. I have learned   35   is better than refusing because it not only helps you walk out of trouble, but also helps you know the real meaning of life.
