Question

That day, the bathroom door heavily shut behind me. Then there came my little brother’s loud ________. Oh, my god! The door had slammed on his finger! Now he asked me to take his fingernail back. Without thinking, I rushed into the bathroom. ________, it couldn’t be found. I knew from the look on his face that he was so scared and painful. He couldn’t ________ one of his parts was gone in such a way. He kept sobbing, and I felt worried and ________ because our parents would come back soon and they would be angry with me.

Suddenly, a ________ idea came to me. I whispered in his ear, “Toby, do you know that lizards (蜥蜴) grow their ________ back and little boys can grow their fingernails back too?” Toby’s soft green eyes grew wide and he became very excited. “They can?” he asked. Quite surprised by the ________, “And how?”

I told him, “________ that nothing is impossible. From now on, you just need to keep a little ________ in your heart and tell your fingernail how much you love it and how much you need it.” I could see Toby’s little face ________. Then I continued, “We should ________ the whole thing from Mom and Dad.” Toby nodded firmly. After a while, Toby said to me ________, “I’m talking to my fingernail, wishing it to grow quickly.”

A week later, with a joyful burst of laughter, Toby ran towards me. “See!” he said, “it’s really growing back and becomes well again just as any ________ fingernails!”
