Wings of Angel
I used to hate myself because I wasn’t “normal”. Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not
36 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder (脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much
37 than others.
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.
“What are you looking at?” she asked.
“Ants.”
“What are they doing?”
“No idea.”
“I bet they’re playing games and making friends. Don’t you think so?”
That was how our
43 started and it didn’t stop. We talked about everything under the sun—the ants, the clouds, my little niche (处境) — until it was sunset.
Then suddenly, she saw my
44 . She just stared.
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.
