Cassie, the cassowary (食火鸡) lived a 1 life. She would walk through the forest, eating fallen fruit, while other birds flew among the trees.
"Why can' t you 2 ?" they would ask.
"Your little wings (翅膀) can' t 3 lift you off the ground! " they would laugh at her. "You' re a 4 to birds," they would speak in a high voice until they flew away. Cassie was feeling more and more lonely and 5 so she decided to 6 the forest. As she walked free from the trees, she heard a deep voice from behind. Cassie turned around. A large tree signed to her to come back into the forest, "We need you here," said the tree,"We 7 you to eat our fruit and spread our seeds (种子). The other birds may think that you' re useless, but you are actually the most useful bird in the forest. Please don' t go, you are irreplaceable (不可替代). "
Cassie smiled for the first time in many weeks and returned home to the forest. The fruit had never 8 so good.
It' s easy to compare your skills to the abilities of others and feel ashamed (惭愧). It' s easy tolisten to the voices of others and believe 9 . But know this—You are useful, you are 10 , and you are irreplaceable!
