Qualities.

 Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”

    Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”

    In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.

    That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.

    “Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every, rung I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.

    One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”

    For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.

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.
