Last fall I put a bird feeder outside my window. I thought as soon as I hung up, a great 16 beautiful birds would come. Days, weeks and months went by; 17 , no birds.
I asked many people, why? What was I doing 18 ? “Nothing,” most of them replied. “Just 19 .” So I waited, waited and waited.
I 20 off the deck （露台）, I changed the feed, I 21 the feeders, and I 22 made the cat go out the other door! But 23 seemed to work. So --- I waited, “with patience and hope. ”
Two months later, early in the morning, I was 24 . A beautiful bird had been on the bird feeder. All of a sudden, I saw hundreds upon hundreds of birds 25 from everywhere.
26 a beautiful lesson this living thing taught me! “Patience and hope” will 27 the most beautiful things in life.
So I keep hoping and waiting, waiting and 28 . I will try to use this “little lesson” in 29 many other things in my life. I guess, “ 30 is a virtue （美德）” after all.
