There was once a teacher who gave his students some seeds (种子) so they could plant and look after their very own sunflowers. One boy in the 　11　, who loved sunflower seeds, was so excited that he planted the seed and 　12　 it with great care for many days. When the 　13　 shoot (嫩芽) finally appeared, the boy, filled with impatience, went to see his teacher. He wondered if he could harvest it. The teacher 　14　 that he would still have to care for the plant for quite some time before he would be able to 　15　 many seeds from just one sunflower. The boy was 　16　, but he kept on looking after his sunflower. However, though the teacher 　17　 him to be patient, as soon as the boy saw the sunflower’s first seeds, he cut the plant. But the seeds were not ripe (成熟的), and of course they couldn’t be eaten. The boy was regretful. He had put so much effort into 　18　 for the sunflower, but in the end he got nothing for a simple lack of patience. And he was even 　19　 when he saw how wonderfully his classmates’ sunflowers grew. Fortunately, his 　20　 were good enough to share their delicious sunflower seeds with him.

It was a Christmas break from school almost 40 years ago. I had spent most of the morning like any boy would, 　21　 outside in the snow and enjoying the sunlight on the 　22　 day of the year. I liked stepping through the snow, making snowballs to 　23　 the trees, and watching the smoky breath float (飘) out of my 　24　. After a while, though, the 　25　 got to be too much and I went 　26　.

It was warm in the house. I 　27　 my wet coat and put on my favorite blue sweater. Then I walked into the 　28　. My mom and grandma had just 　29　 baking two loaves of Italian bread. Mom looked up, smiled at me and asked me what I wanted for 　30　. I smiled back and pointed to the delicious bread. Mom laughed, 　31　 a slice off the bread, and buttered it for me. Then she told me to go sit 　32　 the stove (炉子) in the living room. Taking my slice with me I sat in my favorite chair, and felt the gentle heat (热) from the stove 　33　 my little body. It was a moment of pure 　34　. I felt so good and so loved that I 　35　 it to this day.

Our daily 　36　 and love are all we need in this life. They are all we need to 　37　. Anything else is just an extra blessing to be used to make this world a 　38　 place for us all.

Be thankful for the daily bread that fills your 　39　 and for daily love that fills your soul. Then go out and with great joy 　40　 your bread, your blessings, and your love with the world.
