We were worried about our lack of ability to teach such a simple task and spoke ___ about not taking him to the meeting that night. We didn’t want to make him sad.
I nearly opened my ___ to tell him that it wasn’t important for him to learn to tie his shoes. But before I did that, his older sister ___ a new idea.
＂Brian,＂ she softly asked, ＂why don’t you try closing your eyes See if you can tie your shoes in your imagination. That way, if you get up to go someplace early before the sun comes up, you can tie your shoes in the _____ .＂
Brian sat, with eyes closed, and tied his shoes perfectly. We looked at each other excitedly. And then we ___ to his meeting.
Brian went first. He, with eyes closed, ___ an award that might weight more than an Olympic Gold Medal. Tears of joy fell.
Brian turned something difficult into something ordinary, small and simple. When he found a new ___ to solve the problem, it became an important event because it was really difficult for him. We all cheered for him. Brian still ties his shoes as his big sister suggested so many years ago.
