Every day I get outside and take a walk near my house. Several days ago, I happened to _________ a coin on the road. But I _________ walking. After a while I started thinking of my _________. She likes collecting loose change. If she saw the coin, she wouldn’t _________ it. I wanted to go back for it, but I thought it would be shaming if someone saw me _________ a coin.

Later that day I told my 6-year-old daughter Kate about the _________. As I expected, she didn’t say, “Don’t _________ it. It is only a coin.” Instead, Kate said, “I would have picked it up. When small coins are _________, they will become something important.” She _________ catches small opportunities（机遇）.

Deep into the night, I thought of that coin again. I once stepped on __________ but passed by. I also thought of my opportunities. I lost many opportunities __________ I thought they were not important.

The next morning, I walked along the __________ road. I decided to pick up that coin if I saw it again. But it was __________. Someone else caught the opportunity which had belonged to me.

Since then, I have paid much attention to small opportunities around me. I began to understand that a small opportunity can be the __________ of something bigger. What a great life lesson! And it only __________ me a coin.
