Once there lived two brothers. The elder was called Simon and the younger was Victor. They always            each other. Every day they worked from morning           night, getting as much grain谷物 as possible from their fields.
One late autumn evening, after their work was done, Simon said to his wife, "Victor got married last month. He has many bills to      . I think I will put a bag of rice in his barn谷仓." "Oh, that's a good idea," said his wife. "But please don't tell him," said Simon, "If he knows I put the rice there, he will          take it.”

"Younger Brother!" Simon cried when he came near the man , "What are you doing?"
"I was          you, Older Brother," said Victor, "Your family is larger than mine. I thought you needed more rice. “The two brothers quickly          that they took rice to each other.

I’m always not sure whether my parents love each other or not. Every day they are very busy making money so that they can     a good life for my sister and me. They don’t act in the usual ways that I read in books or I see on TV. Also, they never send     to each other on Feb, 14.
One day, my mother was sewing* a quilt. I quietly sat down beside her.

“Is there love       you and Dad?” asked I.
With a little surprise in her eyes, my mother stopped to raise her head and        me. She said       for long time. At last I heard my mother’s voice:
“Jane,” she said, “Look at this thread*.       sometimes it appears, most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and lasting. If life is a quilt, then         should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there, and        disappears.”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her       the next spring, when my father suddenly got     seriously. My mother had to look after him in the hospital for a month. When they       home, every day in the morning and evening, my mother helped my father walk slowly. They often walked without a word. And after two months, my father still couldn’t walk by      . All of us were worried about him very much.
“Dad,     are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Jane,nothing serious. To tell you the truth, I just like       with your mom. I like this kind of life,even if I cannot walk anymore.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant good presents and sweet kisses. But now, I understand that love is just like a thread in the quilt. Love is inside, making our     nice and warm.

 “Yes, you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.
 Suddenly, a        expression appeared on her face.
 “I came here just to have a rest because I         in the college entrance examination. I felt very disappointed. And it was your listening every day that        me,” she said, “and I have to go tomorrow.”
“In fact, it was your playing that gave me a       autumn and helped me believe that I have the ability to pass the Postgraduate Entrance Examination.” I answered, “I think it was God who gave us the          to know each other and we should be good friends.”
  She smiled and I smiled in that beautiful autumn..
