I grew up in a small town. When I was in the third grade, I was chosen to be the        in the school play. My mother helped me practice my lines for weeks. But once I stepped onto the stage, I was too nervous to        the words. Finally, my teacher asked me to         the role to a storyteller. I didn’t tell my mother        had happened when I went home for lunch that day. She knew that I was        from my look. She asked if I wanted to go for a walk in the yard.
It was a lovely         day and the grass was turning green. We could see a lot of yellow dandelions(蒲公英）in the grass. I watched my mother walking towards a dandelion and         it up by its roots(根茎). “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.” she said. “But I like dandelions,” I said. “All        are beautiful _—— even dandelions!”
“Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way. And that is true of       too. Not everyone can be a princess. You will be a beautiful storyteller,” my mother said, reminding me of how much I       to read stories to her. “The storyteller’s part is just as      as the part of a princess.”
The big day         came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher handed me a      . I looked at it and thought of our        talk. It made me        .
After the play, I took the flower home, and kept it in our family dictionary.
