When I was a boy，my family would sometimes gather together at my great aunt's tiny house over the summer.Relatives from all over the country would come to visit.
    （1）The adults would crowd together in the living room，around the kitchen table to talk about each other's lives.All of the kids would be sent out onto the front yard to play a good game of tag（捉人游戏）.
    （2）我是那里所有小孩子中最年幼，个子最小的。So I got caught first and couldn't catch anyone else.Although I tried my best to run after my brothers and cousins，they were all too fast.I grew more and more impatient.
    I finally rushed towards one of my brothers and fell over.I got up with tears in my eyes.（3）当我想放弃时，我看见我表姐站在那里。She started to run but was going much slower than before.I ran after her without thinking twice，and I tagged her as I expected.Then she turned to me，smiled and said，"I'm it!You'd better run as fast as you can!"（4）I ran off happily while she turned and started to run after one of my elder brothers.
    I see now how her act of kindness that day saved me from sadness and returned me to joy.（5）Although we hardly ever saw each other，family love brought us together.
    We were family and she loved me.We are all one，we all belong to each other and we are one big，beautiful family.
