Question

My crippled（瘸腿的）grandmother was dancing. I stood in the living room doorway, looking at her beautiful movements, completely       . Do you know she'd had her accident. I had read that in an old newspaper article．

    ‘‘So．．．Your leg? I mean,       did your leg heal(治愈)?"

    “To tell you the truth my legs have been well all my life,” she said．

    “But I don't understand!” I said, “Your dancing career．．．You       all these years?”

    ‘‘Very much so, and for a very good       .”

    She thought for a while and then continued. “Your grandfather and I were talking about engagement（订婚）       he had to go to war. I was so afraid of losing him that the only way I could stay normal was to dance. I put all my heart         practicing and I became very good. The public loved me, but all I could feel worried about not knowing whether the love of my life would         return. One day a letter came, There were only three sentences: “I have lost my leg. I am no longer a       man and now give you back your freedom. It is best you forget about me.”

    “I made my decision there and then. I traveled away from the city. When I returned I had bought       a stick. I told everyone I had been in a car crash and that my leg would never completely heal again. No one doubted the story l had learned to limp（一瘸一拐地走）. And I made sure the first person to hear of my accident was a       I knew well. Then I went to the hospital. The nurses pushed your grandfather outside in his         ．I took a deep breath, leaned on my stick and limped to him.”

    I showed him newspaper articles of my accident. “There is a whole life waiting for us out there! But I am not going to       you. You are going to walk yourself.”

    I limped a few steps toward him and showed him what I'd taken out of my pocket. “Now show me you are         a man.” I said．He bent to take his stick from the ground and struggled(挣扎) out of that wheelchair．He managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair         in his life.”

    “What did you show him?” I had to know. Grandma looked at me and smiled. “Two engagement rings, of course. I had bought them the day         he left for the war and I was not going to waste them on any other man.”
