Elena lived in a small fishing village by the sea. While other children watched the boats come and go, Elena kept her eyes on the     1    , not the water. She dreamed of flying. The children     2     her, “Fish can’t fly, and neither can you.” Elena didn’t argue, instead she just went home and started     3    .

Her first “wings” were made of old fishing nets and bamboo. She climbed onto the roof of her house, took a deep     4    , and jumped. She fell straight into a pile of hay (干草堆). It didn’t work, but she didn’t give up.

Version (版本) 2 was made of cardboard and cloth. Version 3 used thin pieces of wood. Each time, she climbed higher and fell     5    . Her mother worried. “Why can’t you just be     6     like other girls?” she asked. “Heaven helps those who help themselves,” Elena replied with a smile.

On her twelfth try, Elena built something     7    . She had saved money for months to buy a large piece of silk. She studied how birds moved their wings and     8     a simple machine to help control them.

The morning of the test, the whole village came to watch. Some came to laugh. Others came out of     9    . Elena stood at the top of the highest cliff (悬崖) near the village. The wind was strong that day—perfect for flying. She closed her eyes, said a small     10     to herself, and jumped. For a moment, she fell. The crowd held their breath. Then the wind     11     her silk wings. She didn’t fly like a bird—she glided (滑翔) like a kite. She stayed in the air for nearly a minute before landing safely on the beach below. The village was     12    . No one laughed anymore. Elena stood up, her heart pounding with joy. She hadn’t truly flown, but she had come     13     than anyone ever had.

Years later, Elena became an engineer who designed airplane parts. She never forgot the day she jumped off the cliff. That day taught her that failure is not the opposite of success—it is the     14     of it.

The villagers still tell the story of the girl who tried to fly. And every child who hears it learns the same     15    : the only way to fail is to stop trying.
