About ten years ago when I was a student at college, I spent my summer holidays 35 a museum. 　36 was hard for me then. Dad had lost his job and Mum was ill in bed. I was 37 if I would be able to go on with my study the next term.

　 One day while I was working, I saw an old man come in with a little girl 38 a wheelchair. As I looked 39 at this girl, I found that she had no arms　 40 legs. She was wearing a little white dress and she 41 had a hat on.

　 As the old man pushed the wheelchair up to me, I was busy with my work. I 42 my head toward the girl and gave her a wink ( 眨眼). When I took the money from her grandfather, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the prettiest, largest smile I have 43 seen. Suddenly her handicap(生理缺陷) was 44 and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile almost gave me a better understanding of what life is all about. She brought me into her 45 of smiles, love and warmth.

　 I'm now a successful businessman and 46 I get down and think about the trouble of the world, I think about that little girl and the unforgettable lesson about life that she taught me.
