It was in the hospital that I first saw Tommy.
He must have been crying a lot __21_ his chest was still heaving（起伏）as I __22_ the bed. I knew he was trying to __23_ his tears. I felt helpless, unable to __24_ the pain from the little boy. Suddenly an idea hit me. I wanted to __25_ him the ancient Hawaiian wisdom. __26_ over, I whispered, “Tommy , did you know our Hawaiian Lizards（蜥蜴）grow their tails back and little boys can grow their __27_ back too?” Tommy’s eyes grew wide with __28_ .
“They can?” he asked, obviously __29_ .
“Yes!” I answered with __30_ . “Close your eyes,” I said. He nodded with
his eyes closed __31_ .
“Tell your finger every day how much you love it and you need it to __32_ the phone and to write your homework in school.” I paused, __33_ his little face focused in deep __34_ . “Now say, grow for me, finger. I love you. I need you so much.” __35_ later, Tommy opened his eyes. I told him, “Your finger will be perfectly fine. Let’s __36_ until it completely recovers.”
A year later, Tommy came to say good-bye to me. His broken finger was just the same as any other finger should be. Only a(n) __37_ scar（伤疤）remained.
Tommy remains forever in my heart and __38_ me of the possibility of miracle（奇迹）. From him, I have learnt to _39_ failure. He inspires me to improve myself and to remember the ancient __40_ : Everything is possible if you truly believe.
