After years of experience, Brenda was faced with a challenge in Sunday School. However, she just didn’t know how to 36 it in a good way. She had never been asked to teach a child quite like Cindy!

Cindy, you see, was different. She came from a broken home. And although she was really 37 , she thought she was so bad that she could not be successful. In fact, Cindy needed 　38 , and most of all, Cindy needed love! There just had to be a way of 39 her. Day after day, Brenda would pray（祈禱） for Cindy, yet Sunday would come and go and she saw little, if any change.

Then one day Brenda asked Cindy if she could 40 a role （角色）in a Christmas program the children were planning to do. Cindy’s answer was, “Don’t you think you can find someone better than me?”

“Better than you?” came Brenda’s 41 . “What makes you think there is 42 better than you?”　

“Well, I’ve 43 been asked to do anything before because I’m not good. I won’t get the part right and then everyone will be mad at me for messing up (弄糟) their 44 .” came Cindy’s answer.

“Oh, Cindy,” said Brenda in a 45 voice. “I am so 46 that you think that, but you are so wrong. Don’t you realize how clever you are?”

“No.” 47 a reply in a low voice because Cindy was now in 48 .

“But Cindy, in my eyes, you are special and you can also do something well like others.” Brenda said.

“Really? Do you think so really? Nobody has believed in me like you. Thank you, Miss Brenda! 　49 I’ll have a try.” said Cindy as she 　50 a hug from her teacher for the first time!
