My parents announced I was getting my own room. I was so excited. 1 , my new bedroom was down in the dark basement, and basements are 2 places when you're only five years old. So I was a little 3 until I knew my grandmother would live next to me. She 4 completely and offered to let me sleep with her.
It worked out well for both of us for a while. I could even 5 that her snoring (打鼾) was lovely. But soon my parents 6 , and they were not happy. They wanted me to learn to 7 by myself. Of course, I screamed and threw temper tantrums (使性子). It didn't 8 , but at least I had put up a good 9 . At last, I went back to my own room because I didn't want to bring any 10 to my grandmother. However, I was fearful. So when I 11 my parents had fallen asleep, I got up and walked as quietly as I could into Grandma's bedroom.
In the morning, Grandma 12 me awake and said 13 that I needed to get back to my room before my parents got up. I ran back to my room just in time as I heard 14 upstairs. My wonderful grandmother 15 me while we lived there. She 16 to patiently wake me up every morning to go back to my own bed. Because of her, I never had to sleep by myself, and I still had the 17 of my own room.
A year later, we moved to a different house. My mom told me that I would 18 a room with my grandmother. I was 19 ! Mom said I didn't have to go to sleep 20 with Grandma anymore.
