“Now, children, we’re going to have a class play. It’s really a good way to show your ____21____,” said Ms. Lopez. “And everyone needs to join in. You can act, sing and dance, and play music.”

I began to ____22____. I didn’t want to perform—especially in front of an audience (观众)!

After I got home that day, Mom asked ____23____, “You look a little unhappy, Dion. Is something the matter?”

I told my mom about the play, and she understood my ____24____. “Perhaps there is something else you can do for the play,” she said. Then she asked, “What’s the play about?” Mom listened as I told her the ____25____. We both laughed at the funny ending.

“I have an idea,” said Mom. Then she led me to my room. “____26____ all your paintings,” Mom said, as she pointed to my walls. “You’re good at painting, ____27____ maybe you can paint the scenery (舞台布景).”

I thought for a minute. Soon I had a ____28____ in my mind of what I would do.

The next day, I couldn’t ____29____ to get to school to tell Ms. Lopez that I would like to draw and paint the scenery for the play.

“What a ____30____ idea, Dion,” she replied. “I’m sure that you will do a great job!”

On the night of the class play, I ____31____ the play from the side of the stage (舞台). The stage looked so great that I was very ____32____ with all the work that I’d done.

The play was excellent, and it was over too quickly. As I walked away backstage, Ms. Lopez came up to me and said, “On stage, Dion!” I ____33____ Ms. Lopez onto the stage. She pointed to the scenery, and the audience clapped (鼓掌) and ____34____ loudly.

I looked down at Mom smiling and clapping in the audience. I thought she was ____35____ to see me on stage. And I was happy to know that.
