When I was little，I wanted to be a princess (公主)．I __1__ I got anything I wanted.Then，when I was four，a native American woman __2__ my pre-school as a guest.She talked to us about their __3__，like what they wore or how they greeted one another.Then，she gave each child an Indian name.The boys got __4__ names like Flying Eagle.The girls got princess names: Princess Moon and the like.But when it was my __5__，she said，“You are Rabbit’s Foot.”

　　I looked at the girl next to me，who had been named Princess Autumn Leaves，and __6__ what she had but I didn’t have.Whatever the mysterious __7__ was，I thought to myself，“Not everyone can be a princess.”Whatever I was when growing up，I __8__ wasn’t a princess.My father never __9__ me his“princess”．At the kindergarten，the __10__ girls—the ones with the beautiful leather shoes—__11__ to sit with me no matter what I wore.This __12__ repeated itself through high school and college as well.

　　But not being a princess actually __13__ me，as I didn’t feel it necessary to be the center of attention.And if I got praise，I __14__ it.Princesses，on the other hand，are born to be praised.

　　Recently，I told a friend the __15__ of my pre-school Indian naming.To my __16__，she pointed out something wonderful，“Rabbit’s Foot __17__ good luck.That’s better than being a princess.”

　　I __18__ realized what a great name I had been given.My friend was __19__.I am lucky.And __20__ I am not a princess，I don’t expect praise or love.I just feel lucky when some of it comes my way.
