He for some time but he could never hit the target he had set for himself. Getting a little , he walked back to the farmhouse for dinner. As he was _ back, he saw Grandpa’s pet duck. Just out of , he let the slingshot fly , hitting it in the head ,and killed it. In a panic, he the dead duck in the woodpile, only to see his sister Sally be watching him.

Recently I was invited to attend a party that helps children seriously injured in the big earthquake that happened this May. I went because I 31 .
At the party, all the children were given paints in bright, beautiful colors. After a short time, as I 32 , I saw blue clouds, orange sunrises and purple flowers. The 33 were all bright.
The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was 34 and lifeless. It lacked (缺乏) the bright colors that his fellow (同伴) “_35_” had used.
I thought maybe he took the only paint that was 36 and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his 37 was that color. I asked him why and he told me that he was very 38 . He looked straight into my eyes and said, “There is 39 anyone can do that will help.”
I certainly 40 why he was sad. I said, “It isn’t 41 that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not be 42 to make you recover better…but we can do things 43 giving bear hugs (拥抱), which will 44 when you are feeling sad.” I also told him that I’d be happy to give him one 45 he could see what I meant. He immediately gave me a huge hug and I thought my own heart would burst with the 46 I felt for this sweet boy.
As the day was coming to an end, I was getting ready to 47 home. I turned around and found that standing there with 48 on his face was the little boy. He said, “My heart is 49 colors. It is getting brighter. Those 50 really do work.” On my way home I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter color, too.

It was a cold winter. The day my husband fell to his death, it started to snow, just 31 any November day. His 32 , when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it 33 . One morning, I walked slowly 34 and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman clearing my walk. I dropped to my knees and crawled back upstairs, 35 those good people would not see me. I was 36 . My first thought was, how would I ever 37 them? I didn’t have the 38 to brush my hair, 39 clear someone’s walk.
Before Jon’s death, I felt proud that I 40 asked for favors. I identified myself by my competence and 41 . So who was I if I was no longer capable? How could I 42 myself if I just sat on the couch every day and watched the snow fall?
Learning to receive the love and 43 from others wasn’t easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried. Finally, my friend Kathy said, “Mary, cooking for you isn’t a 44 for me; it makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”
Over and over, I heard 45 words from the people who supported me during those 46 days. One wise man told me, “You aren’t doing nothing because being fully open to your 47 may be the hardest work you will ever do.”
I am not the person I 48 was, but in many ways I have changed for the 49 . I’ve been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom coming form 50 one’s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our life.
