Question

George lived with his sick mother in a poor village.

One bright sunny     in July， he went early to the forest two miles away. He was asked to     some wood from under the trees. After working hard for half a day， he looked around for a _     place to rest and eat his lunch. Suddenly some fine red wild      caught his eyes.

“How good these will be with my bread and butter!” thought George. He at once began to 35 all the strawberries he could find and sat down by the river， ready to enjoy them.

Just then as he was lifting the     strawberry to his mouth， he thought of his mother. “shall I      them for her?” said he， thinking how much they would make     happy， yet still looking at them with longing (渴望的) eyes.

“ I will eat half， and take the other half to her，” said he. Then he divided the strawberries into two.       he found each half looked so small that he put them together again.

“I will only taste one.” Then seeing that he taken the biggest，  he put it back. Finally he      them carefully with some leaves， deciding to keep all     his mother.

When the sun was beginning to go down， George went home.       happy he felt that he had all his strawberries for his sick mother. The      he came to his home， the less he wished to taste them. As soon as he arrived， he ran to his      and happily offered his wild strawberries. Tears in eyes， she put her hand on his head and said     ， “And you kept them for your sick mother， did you? God will bless you for all this， my child.”

Could the eating of the strawberries have given George half the happiness he felt at the moment.
