My husband died and I became very angry. I hated being alone. One day, as I was 1down a busy street, I suddenly noticed a beautiful new fence (栅栏)around a house. The 2 still smelled of fresh paint.
“Hello!” I came up and said to a 3 in the back garden, “I came to see the fence, it's so beautiful! ”
“Oh! The fence is not there for me,” the lady explained to me in a calm voice, ”I live alone.
4 so many people pass by every day, I think they maybe pleased to see something really wonderful. 5 stop like you and come up to have a chat.”
“But weren't you 6when they expanded (拓宽)the road and everything changed so much?”“Change is part of life and takes part in making us who we are. When something we do not like happens to us, we have7choices to become a bitter (痛苦的)person or to become a better person.”
Her reply changed my life, I carefully left the gate open and drove on 8a new feeling inside me. I could not tell9it was, but I could feel the thick stone wall around my 10 heart breaking off.
