1 . When I was just a little boy, my mom and I drove to my grandpa' s sister's house in another town. I went outside to _________ in the yard while they all sat around the _________ table to talk. After over an hour's playing by only myself, I got _________ and walked inside to see what they were doing. _________ on the kitchen table was a large, homemade tapestry (挂毯) that was still being _________ together. Pieces of multicolored fabrics (织物) were put everywhere. I sat on a chair and _________ as my great aunt painstakingly sewed a little piece onto it. I looked over at one edge of the tapestry and saw a piece of thread _________ out. Without thinking I reached over to _________ it.

"No! Stop!" It was my grandpa's sister's _________. I jumped back. Seeing the __________ look on my face she smiled and __________ showed me why she had shouted. That single piece of __________ went in and out of the different pieces of fabric. If I had pulled it, I might have torn (扯破) the entire tapestry and __________ her hours of work.

As I __________ that moment today, I can see that our __________ is a lot like that thread. We are all just a single string (细绳) in the world. We can't always see where we are going or what we are __________ to. However, don't feel __________ in the tapestry of life. Accept your __________ in it willingly. You may only be a single piece of thread but your love and your life help to __________ the whole thing together. You are put here for a purpose. __________ it and live for it each day of your life.
