It was not long before the Japanese   30   was transported to a poor landscape in Granada, Colorado. The relocation center consisted of tar-paper-roofed barracks (兵营)  31 by barbed wire and armed guards.
A full year went by. Then two. Then three. While the   32 neighbors were in internment, their friends worked in the greenhouses, the  33   before school and on Saturdays, and the father's work often stretched to 16 and 17 hours. And then   34 , when the war in Europe had
  35 , the Japanese family packed up and   36  a train. They were going home.
What would they find? The family was   37 at the train station by their neighbors, and when they got to their home, the whole Japanese family stared.. There was the nursery, complete, clean and shining in the sunlight, neat, prosperous and healthy.
So was the balance of the bank passbook   38 to the Japanese father. And the house was  39 as clean and welcoming as the nursery.
