She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I finished with those famous words: “And
19、 they lived happily ever after.” As I looked over to her with her wavy(鬈曲的), brown hair and big, innocent eyes I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then it dawned on me that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to “live happily ever after”. Still,
20、 deep in my heart I knew that this couldnt always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in grief and I couldnt comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I stroked her h
