More than anything else in the world, Lion liked being King of the jungle.  He walked around, showing off his power and pride.

Each day Lion took a long lazy sleep under the shade of his favourite tree.  He always dreamed of weaker animals bowing(鞠躬) before him.

One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tripped over Lion’s huge paws.  Lion woke up with a start.  “How dare you wake me up!”  he shouted angrily.  Lion grabbed(抓住)  Mouse with one paw.  “On the second thought, I’m in the mood for the snack, and you’ll make a delicious meal.” he said.

Mouse cried out, “King Lion, please spare（饶恕） me! If you let me live, I’ll always remember your kindness.  And, some day, I might be able to help you.”

“How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?” That thought made Lion laugh so much that he decided to let Mouse go.  A week later, Lion was walking through the jungle on the way to his favourite tree when he stepped onto a hunter’s net.  The net scooped him up. No matter how he twisted (扭动) and turned, he couldn’t escape.

When Mouse heard Lion’s frightened shouts, he raced to help. Mouse quickly chewed（咬）through the ropes to make a hole in the net.  Soon, Lion moved out and was free. Lion looked down at the little mouse. “Thank you for saving my life,” said Lion, smiling his widest smile.  “I was mistaken.  You are not a powerless little mouse.  You are a great friend!”

Years ago, while I lived in England, part of my college task was to help the children with special needs. I was chosen to         in a school with disabled children. The teacher asked me to           Nancy, a ten-year-old girl. One of        hands could not move. At her school the teachers would think it was an achievement(成就，成绩)          she was able to put on her own coat. But I saw more in her. She had always wanted to put a string         the hole of a key.

For the 5 years Nancy was in the school, the teachers always           to help her, but always ended up doing all the work for her. I knew Nancy could do        , so I encouraged her to do something herself. At first Nancy often failed and got very       . Sometimes I wanted to give up too.       , after a week Nancy was able to do          she had wanted to alone for so many years. Her teachers cried         when they saw the thing she was able to do with just some encouragement.

Disabled people should     be told they can’t do this or that. With just some encouragement they can do it. The look       that girl’s face when she was able to do it herself meant         to me. I hope everyone will encourage people to do all they want by themselves          telling them they can’t do it.
