Many years ago, I travelled abroad to a small village. One day, I saw some little kids playing a ____1____ called “train”. In the game, there were three roles: a “leader”, some “followers” and a “guard”. When the guard waved a flag, the “train” began to move. The followers had to ____2____ behind the leader one by one, holding onto (抓住) each other’s shirts. And they took turns (轮流) changing their ____3____.

One boy with only shorts caught my eye. He waved the flag as the guard all the time. He never changed his role. I was really ____4____. During the game break, I asked him, “Why do you ____5____ waving the flag? Don’t you want to play the other roles?” The boy replied, “Sir, I have no ____6____ to wear. Who will stand behind me?” He added with a joyful look, “I don’t ____7____ the roles. I just want to be part of the game with my friends!” At that moment, there was no complaint (抱怨) in his voice at all.

Then the boy went back to his friends ____8____ with a big smile on his face. His words were simple but ____9____. The little boy taught me a great life lesson—we can never have everything in life, but we can always ____10____ the “inside” joy if we make full use of what we have.
