My mother used to ask me, “What is the most important part of the body?” When I was young, I thought 16 was very important to us, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.” She said, “No. Many people are deaf but still live a17 life; keep thinking and I will ask you again.”
Several years18before she asked me again. This time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are19 fast, but the answer is not correct. Many people are blind, but they still live happily.” Over the years, she asked me many times and always her answer was, “No. But you are getting 20 every year, my child.”
Then last year, my grandpa died. Everyone was crying. When it was our turn to21 our final goodbye to him, my mother asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?” I was22 when she asked me this. I always thought this was a between her and me. I saw her eyes with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder (肩膀).” I asked, “Is it because it23 up my head?” She replied, “No. It is because it can hold the head of a friend or a relative (亲戚) when he or she24. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends, so you will 25have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.” That was when I realized what the most important body part is.
