The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no ________________________________________ of stopping. I walked down the row and found ________________________________________ was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
By this time the activity aroused my ________________________________________, so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on ________________________________________ I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” I felt it best not to ________________________________________.
After another ten minutes, the students were ________________________________________ to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoebox. Then Donna________________________________ hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to ________________________________________. The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the ________________________________________ of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and ________________________________________ your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.
Donna delivered the eulogy (悼词). “Friends, we gathered here today to ________________________________________ the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is ________________________________________ by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in ________________________________________. Amen!”
She turned the students ________________________________________ and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the ________________________________________ of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student ________________________________________ and said, “I Can’t,” Donna ________________________________________ pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to 26 in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the 27 ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too 28 for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of 29 .
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there 30 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She 31 her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had 32 her. I was 33 and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread．Sometimes it 34 , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt 35 . If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen 36 , but it’s really there. Love is 37 .”
I listened carefully but I 38 her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly 39 seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked 40 . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father 41 on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t 42 me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.” 43 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and 44 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just 45 in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
