Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a water puddle （水坑） ahead on the path. I changed my direction to __21__ it on the part of the path that wasn’t covered by water and mud.__22__ I reached the puddle, I was suddenly attacked! But I was __23__. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!

I took a step forward. My attacker __24__ me again. He pushed and struck me __25__ with his head and body, striking me over and over again with all his might. For a second time, I moved back a step __26__ my attacker gave up his attack. Yet again, I tried moving __27__, my attacker charged me again. I was struck heavily in the chest over and over again. I wasn’t sure what to do __28__ to walk back a third time. This time, though, I stepped back several paces to __29__ the situation. My attacker moved back as well to land on the ground. That’s when I discovered __30__ my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying. She was __31__ the puddle where he landed.

Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his __32__ as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his __33__ for his mate. He had bravely attacked me for his mate’s __34__, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life, I __35__ careless enough to step on her. Now I knew why and what he was fighting for. There was really only one choice __36__ for me. I carefully __37__ my way around the puddle to the other side of the path, though it was only inches wide and extremely __38__. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.

Since then, I’ve always tried to remember the __39__ of that butterfly whenever I see huge obstacles facing me. I use that butterfly’s courage as an inspiration to __40__ myself that good things are worth fighting for.
