One midnight, a little girl woke up to drink water. She got up by 1 , walked to the bedroom door and 2 it. She looked outside but walked 3 , because it was so dark in the hall 4 she feared.
Her mother said, “Don't be afraid, honey. Take courage(勇气)!”
“What's courage?” she asked, running to her mother's bed.
“Courage 5 the brave breath,” her mother answered.
“Mom, do you have courage?”
“Certainly.”
The little girl held out her cold hands, saying, “Mom, blow(吹) some 6 your breath of courage to me.”
After her mother blew some of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl clenched her fists(握拳) 7 , afraid that the “breath of courage” 8 run away. Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the kitchen with nothing to be afraid.
Her mother said to herself, “It will be 9 if someone can blow some kind of ‘breath’ to me. Then I can also hold it in my hands when I feel terrified.”
