Once there was a poor little girl living near a forest. She had no family and no one to love her. So she often 　21 sad and lonely.

One day, when she was walking in the forest, she found that a small 　22 was trapped unluckily in a bush. The butterfly tried to fly away 　23 failed. The kind little girl saved the butterfly with great care. Instead of flying away, the butterfly turned 　24 a beautiful fairy (仙女). The little girl was very 　25 .

“Thank you for 　26 me. You are so kind. I will make any of your dreams come true.” said the fairy.

The little girl thought for a moment and then said, “I want to be 　27 !”

The fairy said, “Very well. I will help you.” And she said something in the little girl’s ear. Then the fairy disappeared.

As the kind little girl grew up, she was 　28 ready to help people in need and was popular among the villagers. No one in the village was as happy as she was. Everyone asked her the 　29 of ther happiness. She always smiled and 　30 , “The secret of my happiness is that I listened to a kind 　31 when I was a little girl.”

When the kind girl became a very old woman and was dying, the neighbours in the 32 all gathered (聚拢) around her bed because they were 　33 that her secret of happiness would die with her. They asked, “Please tell us what the kind fairy said.”

The lovely old woman still 　34 and said, “She told me that everyone needed me, no matter how safe they seemed, no matter how rich or poor, no matter how old or 　35 . She said that helping others would make me happy all my life.”
