Every summer, I stayed with Aunt Mary in the country. This summer, my little sister Amanda went with me. It was 1 first time to sleep away from home. She said she wasn't afraid of the dark any more. But I wasn't sure and worried about her.
On the first afternoon, we went to get some 2 with Aunt Mary. When we walked through the dark forest, Amanda 3 held my hand. Then we found many beautiful flowers we needed, and Amanda became happy. She finally let go of my hand and picked some. "Did fairies （精灵）plant them?" Amanda asked. And she began to 4 her favourite fairies before Aunt Mary answered. She shared a lot, just like what she did at home. Maybe I didn't need to 5 .
Amanda kept talking through dinner. When she looked out of the window and saw the dark sky, she became quiet. I knew she was 6 .
Then it was bed time. Amanda started to cry, 7 I opened a book quickly and wanted to find stories about fairies. Suddenly, I saw the fairy lights in a picture. I had a good 8 . I opened the window and asked Amanda to look out of it, "Amanda, there's 9 outside I want to show you."
"Oh! Fairies!" she said happily.
They weren't fairies, of course. They were fireflies（萤火虫） dancing through the air. "Pretty good, aren't they?" I said.
"Yeah," Amanda said and 10 . Not for too long, she slept in my arms.
It turned out that I could do something — with a little help from "fairies" in the real life.
