After I made my ________ I walked back out into the heat. I got in my car but had to wait to ________ because of all the cars lined up at the red stop light.

One of its legs was ________ in what looked like spilt soda (苏打水). I reached down and ________ the butterfly as ________ as I could. I lifted its leg up and suddenly it was ________. I opened my hands and up it flew towards the shining sun. My own eyes shone brighter and my own heart felt ________ as I watched it.

Now a lot of people might wonder why I would step out into traffic like that to________ a single butterfly. All I can say is that my heart was ________ me at that moment.

Can I give you a big _______?” I laughed and _______ responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in _______ at such a young age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich _______, get married, and have a couple of kids.” “No seriously,” I laughed. We became _______ friends.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to _______ at our football banquet. She _______ her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old. We _______ old because we stop playing.
