The third prize was announced（宣布） and it was not me．1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time．The second prize was announced．It was me．1 went up to the stage and read what I had written，"My father"s son"．When I finished，the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother"s face．Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder．"Son，this is the proudest moment of my life．""

I stepped 3 them and the smaller boy, and asked them politely what this boy had done worthy of 4 they were doing to him. One of the boys replied, “He’s weird.” At that, I asked one of the boys if he thought his friend was weird, and the 5 was “No.” So, I asked another boy what the word “weird” 6 , and he said, “Different.” That was my cue(暗示). I told them that everyone is 7 , and that they all looked just as different to the other boy as he did to them. They all stood 8 for a moment, and then the most amazing thing happened.
