That day was like any other day in his life. After school Michael walked past the shop in the street corner. He stopped to  21  the front row of shoes, and he felt sorry for himself. He  22  wanted to have a pair of shoes for his birthday.

He walked away sadly and thought of what to tell his mother. He knew she would give him   23   if she could. But he also knew very well she had   24  money. He decided not to go home ___25  , as he looked worried and his mother would notice（注意到） it. So he went to the park and sat down on the grass. Then he saw a boy in a wheel chair. He noticed the boy moved the wheels（轮子） with his hands. Michael looked at him carefully and was  26  to see that the boy had no feet. He looked  27  at his own feet. “It is  28  better to be without shoes than  29  feet.” he thought. There was no reason for him to  30  so sorry and sad. He went away and smiled, thinking he was more lucky in his life.
