Question

Mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is. Through the years I would   ­­1  ­­­ at the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought   2   very important to us, so I said, “My ears, mum.” She said, “No, many people are   3  . But think about it and I’ll ask you again.”

Since making my first   4  , I had often thought over the question. So the next time I told her, “Mum, it must be our eyes.” She said, “You are   5   fast, but the answer isn’t correct because there are blind people.”

   6   the years, mother asked me a couple more   7   and always her response was, “No, but you are getting   8  , dear.” Last year, my Grandpa   9  . Everybody was heartbroken, crying. When it was our   __10   to say our final good-bye to Grandpa, Mum asked me, “Do you know the important body part yet, my dear?”

I was   11   when she was asking me. I always thought this was a    12__ between us. She saw the   __13   look on my face and told me “This question’s very important. It shows you have really   14   your life.” I saw her eyes full of tears.

I hope you’ll have a shoulder to cry   18   when you need it.”

Then and there I understood the most important body part is not a   19   one. It is being sympathetic(同情的) to the pain of   20  .
