My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I kept trying to give the correct answer.
When I was younger, I thought _______ was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy."
She said, "No. Many people are deaf. Keep thinking about it and I will ask you again." 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?"
She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they ________. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life, my clear. I only hope that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it."
Then and there, I knew the most important body part is not a ________ one. It is sympathetic(同情的) to the pain of others.
