Paul nodded£®¡°My brother gave it to me for Christmas£®¡± The boy was 3 £®¡°You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn¡¯t cost you anything? Boy£¬I wish £®£®£®¡± He 4 £®
Of course Paul knew what he was going to 5 £®He was going to wish he had a brother like that£®But what the boy said shocked Paul all the way 6 to his heels£®
¡°I wish£¬¡± the boy went on£¬¡°That 7 could be a brother like that£®¡±
Paul looked at the boy in 8 £¬then impulsively£¨ÓÐÒâµÄ£© he added£¬¡°Would you like to take a 9 in my car?¡±
¡°Oh yes£¬I¡¯d love that£®¡±
After a short ride£¬the boy 10 with his eyes aglow£¬said£¬¡°Mister£¬would you mind driving in front of my 11 ?¡±
Paul smiled a little£®He thought the boy wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile£®But 12 was wrong again£®¡°Will you stop 13 those two steps are?¡± the boy asked£®
He got out and 14 the steps£®Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back slowly£¬He was 15 his little crippled£¨ õË×ãµÄ£© brother£®He sat him down on the bottom step£¬then sort of squeezed up against him and 16 the car£®

Paul got out and lifted the crippled boy to the front seat of his car£®The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable 20 ride£®
That Christmas Eve£¬Paul learned what Jesus meant when he said£º¡°It is more blessed to give £®£®£®¡±

My friend Karen and I were always together. Karen was only a few months older than I. I always thought she was so beautiful, with long hair and blue eyes. I loved Karen so much because she liked me for being the way I was. I could be myself and share my secrets with her and I never felt like I was being judged.
We had so much fun and were really quite silly. One time I asked my mom to make us the same dresses so we could pretend we were twins.
We continued as best friends throughout grade school. One day, Karen was going to another friend¡¯s place and asked me to come along, but I couldn¡¯t go because I had a babysitting job that afternoon. We walked together to the Becker¡¯s home where I was to babysit and then she continued on her way without me. We had agreed that I would meet her at the corner when she returned and I finished my job.
At four o¡¯clock I rushed to the corner so I wouldn¡¯t be late for meeting Karen. Just as I arrived at the corner, I saw Karen crossing the street. In a second it happened. I saw Karen¡¯s body fly up in the sky. A car had hit her£¡
Karen was on life support for a week before it was decided that they would allow her to go in peace. Karen¡¯s parents wanted to donate her organs(Æ÷¹Ù)to the hospital, but there was nothing left healthy enough to be used because she was hit so hard.
I have never got so close to another person since Karen died. I do miss her! Do you cherish(Õäϧ)your friends? If you don¡¯t, please do, as you may lose them one day.
