Several years______, she asked me again. This time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to_______, so it must be our________. ”

She_______me and told me, “You are learning fast,_______the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.”

Over the next few years, she asked me a few more times and always her answer was, “_____, but you are getting smarter every year, my child.”

Then last year, my grandpa_____. Everybody was hurt, and everybody was crying. My mom asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?”

I was greatly______when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a______between her and me. She saw the confusion (困惑) on my face and told me, “This______is very important. It shows that you have________lived your life.” I saw her eyes filled up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder.”

I asked, “Is it because it ______your head?”
