One day when some government officials were rebuilding a house， they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to make the mice inside the hole come out. A while later they saw mice running out， one after another，but they saw two mice didn’t run away immediately. It seemed that one was trying to bite(咬) the tail of the other.
Everyone was puzzled， so they came nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the two mice was blind， and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite his tail in order to pull the blind one with him to run away.
During the meal time， they started to talk about the two mice. One serious American said， “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.”
A smart Frenchman said， “I think the relationship between them was that of husband and wife.”
A Japanese said， “I think the relationship between them was that of mother and son.”

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy(敌人) " would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
One of the processes(过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.The author had ________kind(s) of fears when she was a child.
