I can still 83 one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the 84 , I’d wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stonewalls. My parents would never 85 . Still, my willing to climb those walls grew so 86 . One spring afternoon, I used all my courage and entered the living room, where the adults had gathered after lunch. “I want to climb the stonewalls,” I said uncertainly. Everyone 87 up. “Can I climb the stonewalls ”
A chorus (异口同声) went up from the women in the room at once. “No!” they cried. “You'll hurt yourself!”
The result was just as I thought. But 88 I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s low voice.
“Just a minute,” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stonewalls. He has to learn to do things for 89 .

“Fred,” he said, “you made this day a 93 day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you 94 as you are.”
Many years has passed since then, and today I host the television programme Mister Rogers Neighbourhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been 95 over the years, but one thing keeps the same: I’ll tell my children what my grandpa told me at the end of almost every visit.
