In Glasgow, Scotland, a young lady, like a lot of teens today, got tired of home. The daughter objected to her family’s 1 lifestyle and said, “I don’t want your God. I am leaving !”

She left home. Before long, she was disappointed and unable to find a job, so she took to the streets to do everything she could to 　　2　 . Many years passed by, her father died, her mother grew 　　3　 , and the daughter became more and more entrenched (固执) in her way of life.

No contact was made between mother and daughter during these years. The mother, having 　　4　　 　her daughter’s whereabouts, went to the poor part of the city in 　5　　 　of her daughter.

As she knocked, the door 　　17　　 　open on its own. She thought someone must have broken into the house. Concerned for her mother’s　 18　 , the young woman ran to the bedroom and shook her mother awake and said, “It’s me ! It’s me ! I’m home!”

The mother couldn’t believe her eyes. They fell into each other’s arms. The daughter said, “I was so worried and 　　19　　 　someone had broken in.” The mother replied gently, “No, dear. From the day you left, that door has never been 　　20　 .”
