My family suffered a lot three years ago when my father died in a car accident. It1my mother, two younger brothers and me alone.
At that time, I was in senior high school. As the2 son, I had no choice but to3of school and work in a factory. Life went on without any 4I dared not ask for more and just thought about5 my two brothers. However, it wasn't easy, for I couldn't6 their tuition even if I worked day and night without rest. I also had to look after my sick mother. I wanted to go back to school, but it seemed to be a(n)7 idea, since I needed to work to support my family.
A thread of8 appeared during those gloomy days. It was a rainy dusk when I went outside into the rain and walked in the street9 the rain stopped! I raised my head, and found that “the sky” was in fact a dark blue umbrella. Then I heard a deep voice say, “Why not10 without an umbrella?” It was a one-legged man,11 you run, you won't get so wet.” His words12 me deeply. Without my father's protection, was I only a slave to 13?
While walking together in the rain, I knew that his dream was once14by an accident. He was glad that he didn't lose15 and still “ran” on the road of life… Facing this guy, I had no pity16admiration.
Inspired by his17 I went to a city in the south and became an assurance representative. After two years' “running”, I got somewhere and my family situation became better18 I went back to school and eventually succeeded in being19 to a university.
Everything is so simple: to run without an umbrella! When you run out of the 20season of your life, there will be a bright sky ahead of you.
