　　If you ever feel as if you are being knocked about by life, think about the amazing bird called the Water Ouzel. I can’t imagine this waterbird knows what it is to have a 　1　 day. The little creature is often found living next to 　2　 waterfalls and rivers rushing fast. And however threatening the weather, however 　3　 the water, in snow and rain, the tough and cheerful Water Ouzel can be 　4　 chirping and singing. What’s more, while the 　5　 of most songbirds, however melodious in warm weather, fall 　6　 over long winter months, the hearty Water Ouzel 　7　 on through all seasons and every kind of 　8　. I have to wonder: does this little creature know anything I don’t?It’s as if the 　9　 knows that every violent storm will eventually 　10　 sunshine; every dark night will finally fade into 　11　. And isn’t it true? Even our bleakest and stormiest times do not 　12　 forever. Like the poor man 　13　 in the cement mixer, there is almost always an end to the 　14　.As the incredible humanitarian novelist Harriet Beecher Stowe said,＂ 　15　 you get into a tight place and everything 　16　 you till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will 　17　.＂ I have had that 　18　 more times than I can remember.Maybe this is one of those days you feel as if you are 　19　 the cement mixer. If so, do you need to 　20　 a little longer?
