Twist was the name of an old champion racing horse. He was past thirty years old, but the heart of the true 36 still beat with the great spirit. However, I knew little about the   37 that the old horse’s spirit would have on my daughter.
My daughter Stacy had ever had a   38 experience with a runaway horse. She was just eight at the time, and a terrifying   39 accompanied the disaster. Although she broke no bones, her   40 , love for horses and the desire to learn to ride were   41 . No matter how my wife and I tried, we had no   42 in curing the damage caused that day. But when she was thirteen, a turning point came. One day as I saw Stacy look into the eye of the   43 fellow in the stall(牲口棚), I knew this was going to be the beginning of a   44 relationship.
Fortunately, Stacy’s accident had not weakened her love for   45 in general, and this small opening was all that Twist needed to create an unusual bond(纽带). In the following weeks, Stacy began to express daily   46 in coming to the stall with me. She   47 spent time with him, feeding, brushing and combing him, all the 48 talking to him about her life.
Then one day   49 I was readying one horse for a ride, I noticed the old guy’s   50 expression and desire to be included, too. So I asked Stacy if she wanted to take Twist out for a ride. In   51 , Stacy looked once again into the old man’s eye. That moment, their two spirits   52 and completed the bond that had been forming over a couple of months. Continuing to look deep into his eyes, Stacy didn’t   53 . She only nodded yes. Moments later, I saw them riding   54 together, Stacy winning renewed confidence and desire, and Twist winning his medal of a child’s 55 .
