Dear Seth,
You’re only three years old, and at this point you are not able to understand this letter today. But someday, when you _36_, I hope you will find something _37_ in what I share with you.
Life can be _38_. There will be people in your life who won't be very nice. They'll  39_ you because you're different, _40_ for no good reason. You will also face heartbreak and might be_41_ by those you love . I hope you don't have to face this too much, but such things_42_ .
Be open to life anyway. You'll find cruelty and _43_ in your journey through life，but don't let that _44_ you from new things. Don't retreat (退卻) from life, and don't _45_ or wall yourself off. Be open to new things, new experiences, and new people. You will _46_ many times, but if you allow that to keep you from trying, you will _47_ many chances. Do remember failure is a stepping stone to _48_.
You will meet many people who will try to do _49_ than you, in school, in college, and at work. They’ll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, nicer clothes, cooler gadgets. To _50_, life is a competition.
Here’s a secret: life isn’t a competition. It’s a _51_. If you always try your best to _52_ others, you’re wasting your life. Learn to enjoy your life _53_ and you will make it a journey of _54_, of learning, of continual improvement, and of love.
Finally, know that I love you and always will. You are _55_ a really wonderful journey, and I will be there for you.

In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. These things come to represent, in fact, what I call __21__and love.
I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming tool. But he did __22__the water. Any kind of __23__ride seemed to give him pleasure. __24__he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.

The next time the  21  met her he said "Hattie, we are going to have a larger Sunday school room soon. When we get the  22  with which to found a school building we are going to  23  one large enough to get all the little children in, and we are going to begin very soon to  24  the money for it."
The pastor did not see Hattie  25 , until he heard from her parents some two years later that Hattie died. As her poor little body was being moved, a purse was found. Inside was found 57 cents and a note  26 : "This is to help build the little church  27  so more children can go to Sunday school."
For two years she had saved for this offering of  28 . When the pastor tearfully read that  29 , he knew instantly what he would do.  30  this note, he told the  31  of her love and devotion.
A newspaper  32  the story and published it. A man  33  them a land worth many thousands. Checks came from far and wide. Within five years the little girl's gift had  34  to $250,000.00 a huge sum for that time.
Her unselfish love had  35  wonders. When you are in the city of Philadelphia, look up Temple University,  36  hundreds of students are trained. Have a look,  37 , at a Sunday School building which houses hundreds of Sunday scholars,  38  no child in the area will ever need to be left outside at Sunday school time. In one of the rooms of this  39  may be seen the picture of the sweet face of the little  40  whose 57 cents made such remarkable history.
