Last Tuesday was rainy. Still, I drove to visit my daughter Carolyn and my grandchildren as I had promised. When I finally walked into Carolyn's house and 1 them,she said, "Mom,you must go to see the narcissi(水仙花) before they are 2   ."

  "3the narcissi, Carolyn!The road is 4 to drive on in the rain, and there is noth?ing in the world except you and these children that I want to 5 in such a bad weather!"

  My daughter smiled 6and said, "Trust me,Mom. You will never 7 yourself if you miss this experience.”

  After driving about twenty minutes, we saw a small church. On the far side of the church, I saw a sign 8   ,"Narcissus Garden".

  We got out of the car,and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then,as we turned a cor?ner,I looked up and was 9 . Before me lay the most amazing 10 . It looked as though someone had a great vat of gold and poured it over the mountain and its surrounding slopes. The flowers were 11 in swirling(旋涡状的) patterns,great ribbons of deep orange,creamy white, lemon yellow, salmon pink,and saffron and butter yellow. Each different colored varie?ty was planted in large 12 so that it swirled and flowed like its own river with its own u-nique color. "But who 13 this?" I asked Carolyn. "It's just one woman," Carolyn an?swered. She 14 a well-kept small house. We walked up to it. In the yard,we saw a post?er. "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking" was the 15 . The first answer was a 16 one. "50,000 bulbs(球茎) ”,it read. The second was, "One at a time,by one woman. Two hands, two feet,and one brain. " The third was, " 17 in 1966."

  This unknown woman had created something of indescribable 18 . Learn to move to?wards our goals one step at a time,learn to 19 what we are doing,and learn to use the time well. By doing so,we can 20 the world.
