It’s fourteen years since I left the Philippines to live with my family in the USA.A month ago,while on summer vacation back in my motherland,I learned a lesson from mosquito(蚊子) bites.Right before
36 Kennedy Airport in New York,my grandma
37 me of the behavior of the native mosquitoes around the
38 like me.She said,“There’s an old saying—the
39 you stay away from the motherland,the sweeter your blood
40 to the mosquitoes.”Not
41 it,I replied,“Grandmaaaa,that’s just an old wives’ tale!”
Well,less than a week
42 my arrival in Manila,I was already carpeted with a
43 of mosquito bites.I took many measures to keep myself from being
44 ,but they all proved useless.
Late one
45 in my cousin’s home,I couldn’t bear the
46 of the bites.Hoping to find some comfort,I
47 my cousin,who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine.Unhappy for being
48 she said,“There is nothing you can do.Go back to sleep.”With a few turns,she slept again.Enviously(妒忌地)
49 her sleep,I hoped a big mosquito would
50 on her face.However,the mosquitoes would just lightly dance around her forehead and fly away quickly,never biting her.Amazed(驚奇的),I ran to others’
51 ,only to find they were all sleeping
52 as the same thing occurred again and again.
From those bites,I came to
53 my grandma’s silly tale.From then on,I’ve always tried to keep a(n)
54 mind about those strange old wives’ tales
55 they do have some truth to them.
