It was in the hospital that I first saw Tommy.
He must have been crying a lot __21_  his chest was still heaving（起伏）as I __22_  the bed. I knew he was trying to __23_  his tears. I felt helpless, unable to __24_  the pain from the little boy. Suddenly an idea hit me. I wanted to __25_  him the ancient Hawaiian wisdom. __26_  over, I whispered, “Tommy , did you know our Hawaiian Lizards（蜥蜴）grow their tails back and little boys can grow their  __27_  back too?” Tommy’s eyes grew wide with  __28_  .
“They can?” he asked, obviously  __29_  .
“Yes!” I answered with  __30_ . “Close your eyes,” I said. He nodded with his eyes closed  __31_  .
“Tell your finger every day how much you love it and you need it to  __32_  the phone and to write your homework in school.” I paused, __33_  his little face focused in deep __34_  . “Now say, grow for me, finger. I love you. I need you so much.” __35_  later, Tommy opened his eyes. I told him, “Your finger will be perfectly fine. Let’s __36_  until it completely recovers.”
A year later, Tommy came to say good-bye to me. His broken finger was just the same as any other finger should be. Only a(n) __37_   scar（伤疤）remained.
Tommy remains forever in my heart and  __38_   me of the possibility of miracle（奇迹）. From him, I have learnt to _39_  failure. He inspires me to improve myself and to remember the ancient __40_  : Everything is possible if you truly believe.
