Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky with his timing. He grew up having other kittens to play and socialize with, and was used to getting on with people from the moment he was born since there were always kids hanging around the barn. He was a favorite amongst the students at the barn. However, when it came time to find the kittens' homes, no one knew where Jack would end up. That was when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was "Do you still want one of the kittens? There's one here with no eyes and no one can take him." Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.
When we first brought him home, Jack walked cautiously around, sniffing everything. He went through a time when he could climb the stairs, but couldn't get down. He would sit at the top and cry until someone came and got him. Every now and then when he gets disoriented he'll stop and cry. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn't long before he finds his way back to us.
Also, a few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new barn cat named Bear. I always take Jack outside at that time for some fresh air and exercise. He loves to run(at top speed!)around the backyard and gardens. Bear and Jack have become best friends. Jack always knows when Bear is around. He'll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. When they're tired they'll lie down in the grass together.
Jack is truly an inspiration. I've owned a lot of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest, most playful of them all. People who know Jack don't feel sorry for him. They cherish him for the treasure that he is. I have talked to a few people who haven't met him personally and tend to pity him, but they just don't understand. Jack doesn't need pity. I think that cats like him don't have disabilities; they have adaptabilities.

In the summer holiday following my eighteen birthday, I took driving lessons. I still remember how hard first day was. Before getting into the car, I thought I had learned the instructor's orders, so once I started the car, my mind goes blank. I forgot what he had said to me altogether. The instructor kept repeating the word, "Speed up!" "Slow down!" "Turning left!" I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left. A few minutes late, the instructor asked me to stop the car. It was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle on the road.

When the typhoon arrived, the villagers were busy constructing some houses. Some of them earned their living by means of this work. Some rocks rolled from the mountain. Many of them suffered the separation from their family, for some of them were killed in the typhoon and others had to flee .
Diana got married and had a 5-year-old son named Dusfin. They lived a very happy life and have been expecting a new family member coming. But a disease forced her to experience an emergency operation to deliver their new daughter. At 12 inches long and 1only one pound and nine ounces, she was a premature baby. But the doctor's soft words dropped like 2. "I don't think she's going to make it," he said. "There's only a 10-percent 3 she will pull through the night, and even then, if by some chance she does make it, her future could be a very4 one. "
David and Diana listened as the doctor5 the serious problems the newly-born baby, Anna, would 6 face if she survived. She would never walk; she would never 7; she would probably be blind; and so on.
"No! No!" was all Diana could8. The whole family had long 9 the day they would have a daughter to become a 10 of four. Now, within a matter of hours, that dream was slipping away. But Diana insisted, "I don't care what the doctors say! One day she will be coming home with us!"
Certainly, there was11 a moment when Anna suddenly grew 12. But as the weeks went by, she did 13 gain an ounce of weight here and an ounce of 14 there. At last, when Anna turned two months old, her parents were able to 15 her in their arms for the very first time though 16 continued to gently but coldly 17 that her chances of surviving, much less living any kind of normal life, were next to zero.
Finally, Anna went home from the hospital, just as her mother had 18. Today, five years later, Anna is a little but lively young girl with bright gray eyes19 a strong interest for life. She shows no 20 of any mental or physical injuries. Simply, she is everything a little girl can be.
One day I was standing by the fountain when a framework for further research appeared in my mind. To do it better, I walked to the river to observe the boys paddling in the river. They were wagging in the river, looking lovely. I sat on the weeds and made some adjustment to my framework.
—I will go on a trip.
