Over 40 years ago, I sat in my first-grade classroom____47____the teacher asked me to go to the principal’s office. I was shy. And I hated to be____48____. For me, being called to the principal’s office was my worst dream.
When I pushed open the door, it was worse than I thought. Seated in front of the principal’s desk were my ____49____. My father walked straight over to me. Holding my drawings, he asked, “Why do you only use a black crayon when you draw?” I couldn’t speak.
“____50____me your desk,” said my father.
In my classroom, my father pulled out my crayon box from my desk. A single nub of a crayon rested in his palm--it was black.____51____, my father asked, “Where are the rest of your crayons?”
I quietly explained that I’d given all the other crayons to friends. I’d been____52____like my parents had taught me. My father let out a deep____53____, “You were sharing?” I nodded my head.
Back to the office, I looked at my father, then at the principal-both their faces were____54____. The principal whispered that I could go. I waved goodbye to my parents. My mother waved back, but I couldn’t get my father’s_____55_____; he was glaring at the principal.
I learned years later that my father’s face was red due to_____56_____and the principal’s was red due to embarrassment. The principal, on seeing all my artwork done in black crayon, _____57_____that I had deep emotional problems. He had called my parents in to discuss “my_____58_____” and to suggest some psychological counseling (心理咨询).
I was too afraid to say that I only had one crayon left. I was too shy to ask for my “shared” crayons back. Because I didn’t _____59_____up for myself, others assumed the worst.
