After thanking me gratefully, the little girl 39 me her only party dress. Puzzled, I tried to 40 , but my mother guided me. She thanked the girl and told her how happy I would be 41 the dress. Then I came to know that my greatest gift to the girl was 42 of the gift she offered me.
Many years later, I stood by 43 as my small rabbit Ashley lay dying. Suddenly she 44 a scratch(抓痕)on the shoulder of her friend Lillian. With a last burst of 45 ,she raised her head and began to 46 Lillian’s cut. With more strength than she had 47 in several weeks, she struggled to make Lillian feel 48 .
