It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen_________in almost a month. The crops were dying. If we didn’t see some rain soon, we would lose everything.
I was in the kitchen making lunch that day when I saw my son, Billy, walking toward the__________. Trying to be as quiet as possible, he was walking with great_________. Minutes after he disappeared into the forests, he came running out again, toward the house. Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that_________way toward the woods. I couldn’t take it any longer and I__________him.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked, being very_________not to spill(溢出) the water he carried.
As I came closer, I saw the most amazing sight. Several large deer(鹿) stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. But the deer did not hurt him nor_________move as Billy knelt down(跪下). And then I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, very thirsty, lift its head to drink the water in my boy's hand. When the water was gone, Bill ran back to the house. He came to the tap, opened it and let the water slowly_________his “cup”.
When he stood up and began to turn back, I was there in front of him. His little eyes were full of tears. “I’m not_________,” was all he said. The week before, he had made the same trouble with our horses, which caused him a speech from his father about the importance of saving water.
This time I_________him, with a small pot(壶) of water from the kitchen. I let him take care of the baby deer alone for it was his job. As my tears began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. All I can say is that the rain that day saved our farm, just like the actions of one little boy who saved another.
