Early in the morning,　 I was taken in a nylon bag into a truck. I felt horrible as well as　　 36　　 . What would she do with me?　 She was almost mad after the　　 37　　 of her husband.

A few minutes later,　 I heard the truck　 38　　 its engine and move fast. I kept making sounds to show my complaints,　 but failed to make any　 39　 . Finally she put me down in a　 40　 place. Maybe she didn’t want me to die from lack of air;　 she untied the bag. I　　 41　 out and looked up,　 only to see many strange faces and fingers pointing at me. It turned out that my owner meant to 42　　 me. I saw my owner on the truck,　 which was going farther and farther away. So I cast my head　 43　　 the direction of the truck. The days we spent together were like a movie playing in front of my eyes as I ran after the truck. I saw my male owner,　 who suffered liver cancer,　 looked at me with his sad eyes. I saw myself　　 44　　 my owner everywhere;　 I saw him lie in his dying bed, she all　　 45　　 .

I ran as fast as I could. And the　　 46　　 I saw her wave to me,　 my eyes became wet. I wouldn’t blame(责备) her for treating me like this for she was such a(n)　 47　　 lady. She seemed even somewhat　　 48　 at his leaving her alone, trying many ways to　 49　　 the pains of losing him. She　 50　　 his pictures and clothes,　 she redecorated the whole house. Now I was the only　 51　 thing to remind her of him.　　 52　 later,　 I am pretty sure that she would realize how mad she was to do this. . .

The truck finally stopped when I was almost　 53　　 . She ran up to me and hugged me　 54　 . I heard her　 55　 , “I know you are a present he left to me. ”
