Driving on the
mountain road where I live can be both a delight and an adventure. Yet, you
should also watch for deer and squirrels 1 the road as well as fallen trees and rocks
that may break loose from and 2down
the side of the hill.
I 3 upon one big rock just the other day. I saw a
car just ahead of me narrowly turn around it. But the stone was 4 there, which might cause traffic accidents. I
turned round and then 5 over to a wide spot. I knew a rock of this 6 would break parts of a low riding car like
mine if the driver didn't see it 7.
So I walked over and moved the huge stone. It must have weighed 50 pounds, but
with all my strength, I removed it. I felt relieved and walked back to my car.
The happening reminded
me too of an old 8 I
had read once: In a faraway land, a king had placed a huge rock on the way to
his palace. Many nobles walked by and surrounded it, complaining that the king
didn't keep the road up better. Finally, a 9 farmer pulling a cart (马车) of vegetables arrived. He 10 and pushed the rock off the
road. Then he saw under it was a bag of gold coins that the king had left for
the one who 11the path for those who came after.
Later, he was not as badly off as before.
Now while there wasn't
any 12 under the rock I moved, my heart did feel more
13as I was driving back home. Maybe the
real 14 is the joy we spread, and the 15 we share.
