I liked climbing things when I was a baby. My mother remembers and has told me most of those 16 moments like this one. When I was one and a half years old, we lived in our first house in Rue St-Louis. On a hot summer day, my father intended to 17 the roof of our old house. In order to climb up there, he 18 a ladder front of the house.
In my town, 19 could walk outside because the streets were 20 . I was outside watching my father climb on that strange thing. I was curious about why my father disappear at last. So I decided to go up it to 21 why it was impossible to see my father after he reached the 22 of that thing. At 1.5 years old, still a baby wearing pampers, I climbed that ladder to the roof top and started walking 23 . My father did not notice that-he was on the other side occupied with his repairs. It happened that a nice lady in our 24 passed by and 25 me. The nice lady came to my house and 26 my mother of it, who was fearful and 27 ran outside to speak with me.
She really thought I would just 28 that roof, for I was just a baby 29 . She asked me to sit down and stop moving in a 30 way you speak to your babies when they are cute. 31 , I threw myself flat on the 32 and waited.
My mother climbed the ladder to 33 me up and there I was enjoying the view laughing at my mother’s shocked face. 34 the saying goes, “He who knows nothing 35 nothing.”

For disabled people, “adopting a wheelchair” is not a temporary（临时的） .
I tried to find a position and thought it might be restful, kind of nice, to be around for a while. Looking around, I I would have to handle the thing myself? My hands started to ache as I the heavy metal wheels. I came to know that controlling the of the wheelchair was not going to be a(n) task.
