Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a water puddle (水坑) ahead on the path. I walk around to the side of the path that wasn’t covered by water and ___21___. As I reached the puddle, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for it was so ___22___. I stepped back and my attacker stopped attacking me. ___23___

attacking more, he flied in the air with its graceful ___24___ in front of me. Had I been hurt, I wouldn’t have found it amusing but I was unhurt, it was ___25___ and I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!

I took a step forward, and my attacker rushed me again. He pushed and ___26___

me in the chest with his head and body over and over again with all his might. It’s just not everyday that ___27___ is attacked by a butterfly, so I stopped to find out the ___28___. My attacker moved back as well to ___29___ on the ground. That’s when I discovered  why my ___30___ was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate beside the puddle ___31___ he landed and she was dying.

Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only ___32___ the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate, even though she was ___33___ dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few ___34___ moments of life. Now I knew why and what he was ___35___. I couldn’t do anything other than reward him by changing my ___36___ to the more difficult side of the puddle. He had truly ___37___ those moments to be with her, undisturbed.
