There are many kinds of friends. Some are always  36  you, but don’t understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but understand you. Many people will step in your life, but only  37  friends leave footprints.

I shall always recall the autumn and the girl with the  38  . She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend.

It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves  39  on the cool  40  . In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves,   41  to the sound of them.

Autumn is a  42  season but life is uninteresting to me. The free days always get me  43  . But one day, the sound of a violin  44  into my ears like a stream  flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 45  in playing her violin.

I had  46  seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been  47  there for so long but my existence  did not seem to disturb her.

Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building  48  I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became  49 .  50  we didn't know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believe she also loved me.

Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly       51  . To my astonishment, the girl came over to me.

“You must like violin.” she said.

“Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.

Suddenly, a  52  expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.

“I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that  53  me.” she said.

“In fact, it was your playing  54  gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let's be friends.”

The girl smiled, and so did I.

I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure (身影) of the girl. She is like a 55  ― so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful.
