Do you play any old-fashioned games that your parents or your grandparents played while they were young?
When I was a boy, my family would sometimes gather together at my great aunt's tiny house over the summer. 1 from all over the country would come to visit.
The adults would 2 together in the living room, around the kitchen table and on the front porch (门廊) to share each other's3, including happiness and sadness. And all of us kids would be 4 onto the front yard to play.
Those were the days before video games and smart phones, 5 we often ended up playing a good old-fashioned game of tag (捉人). I remember one of those times 6.
I was the youngest and 7 of all the kids there, so I got caught first. Even worse, I couldn't catch 8 else. Although I tried my best to chase after my brothers and cousins, they were all too fast for me. I grew more and more 9.
I finally rushed to one of my brothers and 10 face-first into the dirt. I got up with tears in my eyes. Then I saw one of my cousins standing there. She started to run but was going much slower than before. I 11 caught up and tagged her. Then she turned to me, smiled and said, "I'm it! You'd better run!" I ran off 12.
With glee(欢喜) while she turned and started to chase 13 older brother.
I see now 14 her act of kindness that day saved me from sadness and returned me to joy. It didn't matter that we hardly ever saw each other. We were family 15 great love. We are all one, we all belong to each other and we are one big, beautiful family.
