I hated going to school and I hated people 38 at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing straight and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the 39 and seeing an ugly hunchback (驼背).
My friends found me 40 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 41 Angela appeared.
That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school — a spot where no one would 42 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.

“Ants.”
“What are they doing?”
“No idea.”

My heart sank. What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would 45 me now.
She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know 46 your back is hunched.”
I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be sentenced. I begged in my heart for her to 47 , but she just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”
“No,” I answered 48 .
She bent and whispered in my ears.
“Your back is hunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”
I was 49 . I looked into her eyes and her kindness touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to 50 myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind-hearted friend.
