When I was 8 years old, a gentleman came to my orphanage（孤儿院）and taught us how to do woodworking projects.

I remember my first project—a small table. I was so   41   of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a(an)   42  . It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to   43   it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a   44  . She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always   45   with us.

As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories. But I was just so   46   and happy that I couldn’t wait. I _  47  out like a flash, carrying my table and smiling from ear to ear.

As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her   56   to get something important. I followed her   57   into a dark corner. She picked something up.   58   she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table.
