It is another snowing day. It is only five o'clock, but it is already darkening outside.
I don't feel like going out this evening and decide to read “The Story of a Million Years” again.
I read this story in a rainy day 7 years ago when I lived in Pennsylvania. Several times, I had to put the book down in order to wipe the tears from my face. I cried because I shared each of the characters’ unhappiness, disappointments, and unfulfilled dreams. I felt that I was listening to my own friends, the friends who were no longer in my life, telling me about their life stories and secrets and why they did this or that which had hurt me at that time. At last I could understand them, I could forgive them, and I could love them despite their failings. Don't we all have some small secrets that we would never reveal to another person in a million years? However, we still yearn to be understood, to be accepted, to be loved, and to be cherished.
