Cheerful Charlie was a very special boy. When he was still in his mother's tummy (肚子), she had
had an accident, which
1 that Charlie couldn't walk. But that had never been a(n)
2 for him; he had
always been happy. When he became older, they had started calling him Cheerful Charlie because of his
joyful and
3 nature. He really brightened everything up for those around him.
There wasn't a postman, or a taxi driver who wasn't
4 to see Charlie. "Cheer up, Mr. Postman,
that way you'll
5 more letters today!" he would say, or "That was great, Mr. Taxi Driver. You

7 for everything; and he shared them so
8 that, just about every day in that town, someone did a great job, or
9 something new, thanks to
Charlie's ideas.

10 . A young boy came to town on his holidays. He
was known as Waterworks and was a real crybaby. No matter what Charlie said to him, Waterworks
would always find some
11 to be sad: "I don't have many sweets…my parents didn't buy me that
toy…" Everything seemed so bad to him. But Cheerful Charlie wasn't going to be
12 , and he kept
spending more time with Waterworks,
13 trying to cheer him up, just as he did with everyone.
Then, one day, when they were together in the street, someone

chance, and it landed

He was speechless, and
16 Waterworks was just about to cry, he
17 Charlie's happy words so
much that he finally said, "Wow, Charlie, that's a nice clown mask (小丑面具) you just
18 !"
On saying those words, Waterworks felt so
19 that he finally understood why Charlie was always
so happy and cheerful. He realized that he was so used to Charlie's enthusiasm that he couldn't help but
see the fun
