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
37 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder (脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much
38 than others.
I hated going to school and I hated people
39 at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing straight and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the
40 and seeing an ugly hunchback (驼背).
My friends found me distant because I didn’t let others get
41 to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life
42 Angela appeared.
That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school — a spot where no one would

I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be sentenced(审判). I begged in my heart for

“No,” I answered weakly.
She bent and
49 my ears.
“Your back is hunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”

51 myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind-hearted friend.
