Wings of Angel
I used to hate myself because I wasn't "normal". Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on
a bicycle, but not
1 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder (脊髓病) and I knew l would always be much
2 than others. I hated going to school and hated people
3 at me.
I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing
4 and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the
5 and seeing an ugly hunchback (驼背).
My friends found me
6 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
7 Angela appeared.
That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school-a spot where no one would
8 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
9 ."
"I bet they're playing games and Making friends. Don't you think so?"
That was how our
10 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
11 . She just stared.
My heart
12 . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would
13 me now.
She stood up, pointed at my back and said, "I know
14 your back is hunched."
I closed my eyes like a crimiml waiting to be
15 . I begged in my heart for her to
16 , but she just kept on
going. "I know what you've got in there. Do you?"
"No," I answered
17 .
She bent and whispered in my ears.
"Your back is hunched because you've got a pair of wings from the angels."
I was
18 . I looked into her eyes and her
19 touched my heart. From that day on, I started to leam to
20
myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind-hearted friend.
