Once upon a time , there was a child ready to be born. So    16  he asked God, “They tell me you are sending to    17 , but being so small and helpless,    18  am I going to live there?”
“   19   the many angels(天使), I chose the best one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you. ” God replied.
“But here in heaven(天堂), I do    20    else but sing and smile! That’s enough for me to be happy.”
God said, “Your angel will sing and smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and you’ll be   21 .”
The child said, “And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me   22   I don’t know the language that men speak?”
God told the child, “ Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweetest words you will ever hear, and with     23   patience(耐心) and care, your angel will teach you   24  .
The child said, “I’ve    25   that on the earth there are bad men, who will protect me?”
God said, “Your angel will protect you  26  it means risking her life(冒生命危险).”
“But I will always be sad because I will not see you any more.”
“Your angel will always talk to you about    27  and in face, I will always be next to you.”
At the momen0t there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from the earth could already be heard, and the child, in a hurry, asked, “ Oh , God, since I am about to    28  now, please tell me my angel’s    29   !”
“It is not hard to remember,” God replied    30 . “You will call your angel Mommy.”

A thief returned a mobile phone and thousands of yuan he had stolen from a woman after receiving 21 text messages from her, a local newspaper reported.
Pan Aiying, a Chinese teacher at Wutou Middle School in Qihe County, in East China’s Shandong Province, didn’t think her text messages would help to get her belongings back.
A young man riding a motorcycle robbed her of her bag, in which there was her mobile phone, bank cards and 4,900 yuan, as she was riding her bicycle home on Saturday evening.
Pan said at first she considered calling the police, but then decided to try to persuade（说服）the young man to return her bag. Pan called her lost phone with her friend’s, but couldn’t get through. So she began sending messages.
“Hey, I’m Pan Aiying, a teacher from Wutou Middle School. You must be going through a difficult time. If so, I will not blame you. ” Wrote Pan in her first text message, which got no answer. “Keep the 4,900 yuan if you really need it, but please return the other things to me. You are still young. To make mistakes is human. Correcting your mistake is more important than anything. ” Pan wrote in another message.
She gave up hope after sending 21 text messages without any answer and planned to call the police the next morning. However, as she left her home on Sunday morning, Pan found her stolen bag lying in the courtyard. Nothing was lost.
“Dear Pan: I am sorry. I made a mistake. Please forgive me. You are so kind even though I stole from you. I’ll correct my ways and be an honest person,” said a letter left with the bag.
