We were standing at the top of church tower. “Look down, Elsa,” Father said. I gathered all my  41  and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets  42  to the square.

"See, my dear," Father said gently. "There is more than one way to the  43  . Life is like that. If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road, try   44  ."

In the years that followed I often remembered the  45  Father taught me. I knew where I wanted to  46  in life. I wanted to be fashion designer. But on the way to my first small success I found the road  47  .

That year I was busy getting ready to show my winter fashions. Then just 13 days before the   48  the sewing girls were called out on strike. I found myself  49 with one tailor and woman who was in charge of the sewing room! I was as gloomy as my models and salesgirls. “We’ll never  50 it,” one of them cried.

Here, I thought, is the  51  of all tests for Father’s advice. Where is the way  52  this time? I wondered and worried. I was certain we would have to  53  the presentation or else show the clothes unfinished. Then it  54  to me. Why not show the unfinished clothes?

We worked hurriedly. And, exactly 13 days later, right  55  time, the Schiaparelli showing  56  .

What a showing it was! Some coats had no sleeves; others had only one. Many of our clothes were still in a(n)  57 stage. They were only patterns made of heavy cotton cloth. But on these we  58  simple pictures and pieces of material.

All in all, the showing was different. It was so different that it was a great success. Our   59  showing caught the attention of the public, and  60  for the clothes poured in.

Father’s wise words has guided me. There is more than one way to the square always.
