　　Passage 1

　　When I was 8 years old, a gentleman came to my orphanage（孤兒院）and taught us how to do woodworking projects.

　　I remember my first project—a small table. I was so

　　41

　　of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a(an)

　　42

　　. It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to

　　43

　　it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a

　　44

　　. She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always

　　45

　　with us.

　　out like a flash, carrying my table and smiling from ear to ear.

　　53

　　it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent（宿管員）, thinking that she would

　　54

　　it away.

　　Thirty years later at a reunion, I

　　55

　　that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her

　　56

　　to get something important. I followed her

　　57

　　into a dark corner. She picked something up.

　　58

　　she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table.

　　Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.
