One morning, my son, Chilly, found a carpenterworm(毛毛虫) unexpectedly and put it in a jar. Each day he couldn’t 36 to visit the little guest. Few weeks later we discovered it 37 in a cocoon (茧).

Chilly surely knew a moth (蛾) or butterfly was about to be 38 . He was 39 to know what gift nature was about to give him. Gradually we found it half transparent and we could 40 the wings of the unborn. Soon, a moth broke free, and then 41 eggs, completing its life cycle.

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.
