A trip to the bookstore with my granddaughter is always a big event. She 36 in it for hours, touching the books, running her hands over the covers, looking at a few 37 here and looking at a few pages there.
I never 38 the full importance my five-year-old Grand Angel placed on these trips, until the day I suggested she pick the book she liked best, 39 we could go home for dinner. Her response（答复） was 40 .
“But Grammy, I 41 them all the best. All the covers are be-yoo-tiful and all the pictures are bee-yoo-tiful and they’re all 42 . Just like people. Remember when you told me about people?”
I most certainly 43 when I told her about people. I had explained that we are all 44 in our own different way. Each of us has a story to 45 and no two stories are similar. We learn by 46 our stories and listening to the stories of others. Difference is the thing that makes each and every one of us 47 . I had no idea that she’d connected the lesson with 48 . Actually, no one book was 49 than any other book. They were equally beautiful and equally special(特别的).
With dinner still 50 and our stomachs beginning to make noise, 51 time was finally at hand. But how to choose? I suddenly 52 the right question when I asked, “Which book wants to go home the most with you today?” After a short moment of 53 , her eyes lit up. She ran to a specific book and 54 it from its place on the shelf. The main 55 was the picture on the cover, a turtle with sad eyes. “We need to find out why the turtle is sad,” she said.
