Question

I stayed at home with my 5-year-old daughter Lily. When I was reading some magazines, Lily played in the living room. But after a while I noticed nothing but  31     .           

She had never been so quiet. Was she   32   ? I asked what she was doing. The   33    finally came after I   34   my question three times. I heard “Nothing”. Never could I believe she just stayed there and kept quiet. So I walked into the living room. She hurried off. I   35    her to turn around but she   36  . I got a little angry. “Young lady,” I said, “turn around!”

  37   she turned toward me. In her hand was my wife’s new lipstick, only a little   38  . Besides her lips, every inch of her face was covered with bright red.

As she looked up at me with   39   eyes, I really got angry. I was about to   40   at her so that she would know what a mistake she had made.  41   before I could shout, I noticed the big letters she had written on her white skirt with the lipstick, “I’M  A  PERFECT  ANGEL!”

Something strange   42  me. I looked back at her red face. This time, instead of seeing a  43  girl, I saw a little angel that I had almost missed!

“Lily, I heard you speak to the toys just now. I guess you were teaching them how to use the lipstick. But should an angel use her mom’s lipstick like this?” Lily lowered her head, “Sorry. I won’t do it again.” I smiled. “Go and wash your face and let’s get a new  44  for mom.”

Every child is an angel. I felt   45  that I didn’t hurt the angel through treating her mistake in a right way.
