Once upon a time, a Japanese man wanted to rebuild his house. First he had to tear the walls open .Japanese houses36have hollow(空的)spaces between the wooden walls. As he was37them down, he found a lizard(蜥蜴) 38there because a nail(钉子)from the outside had been hammered into one of its feet. Seeing this, he felt 39for it, and at the same time was curious about it.
He knew very well that the40had been hammered 10 years before when the house was first41. What had happened since? The lizard had42for 10 years! To be stuck in a dark wall for 10 years without 43—it hardly seems possible, and is hard to44. Then he wondered how the lizard could have lived for 10 years without moving a single step —since its45was nailed! So he stopped work and began to46the lizard. He wanted to know what it had been doing, and what and47it had been eating.
A short time later another lizard48with food in its mouth. He was shocked, and at the same time deeply49. Another lizard had been feeding the stuck one50 the past ten years.
'What love51in this tiny creature! What can love do? It can do 52! Just think, one lizard has been53another untiringly for 10 long years, without54hope that its partner would be saved,'the man marvelled.
If a small creature like a lizard can55like this, just imagine how we could if we tried
