Once, a circle lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around, looking for its     piece. But because it was not complete, it could only roll (滚) very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine     the way. It talked with worms. It found lots of different pieces, but     of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on     for the lost piece. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit    . The circle put the piece into    . It could be whole with nothing lost. It was so happy and began to roll. As it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk to worms. It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad     it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled very slowly.
Sometimes we are perfect when we lose something. A man     has everything is poor in some ways. He will never have hopes, dreams or something    . He will never know someone loves him or someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had.
We couldn’t be perfect. But we must be brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, kind enough to share     with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us and then we can always have a wonderful time in our life.

There was once a young mouse that lived in a hole in a wall. One day, the young mouse woke up from his sleep and looked out of the hole. As he looked out, a fantastic smell came to his nose. “Cheese!” the mouse said happily to himself. “I’ll go and get it now and have it for breakfast.”
But then he remembered his parents’ words. His parents were very clever mice and often said to their son, “Always wait before you go for a piece of cheese.”
So the young mouse waited quietly. Then he heard a quiet “Miaow” and he knew the cat was there. He stayed in the hole and said to himself, “I’m glad I listened to my parents and learned to wait.”
The next day, he looked out again. He put his nose out of the hole, and the beautiful smell of cheese came to his nose again. He could see the cheese. It was only a few centimetres away. But he sat still and waited quietly. This time he did not hear any cat’s noise. Instead he heard a very quiet “Woof, woof.”
“It’s a dog!” he thought. “If the dog is there, the cat won’t be there. I expect the dog has chased the cat away, so I’m safe.” The mouse ran out of the hole and started eating the cheese. He did not see the cat, which caught him and ate him.
