The roof of our house had a part missing since the day we moved in. now, Carl, the carpenter (木匠), would        36       it. Soon he had filled a huge bag with all the dead leaves and grass that animals had used to make their       37       over the years.

        Carl spent the whole afternoon       38       the old wood, cutting new pieces to fit, and nailing everything together. As he was leaving, Carl said, “There was a squirrel(松鼠)  up there that was       39       with me. It sat on the       40       and scolded me nonstop. I guess it didn’t want to move out.”

        That evening, my sister heard a strange     41    . she yelled, “Mom, Dad—there’s a squirrel out there chewing (嚼) on the new      42      !”

        We all went upstairs and tried to       43      it. We started striking the       44       inside. That stopped the squirrel      45     , but as soon as we stopped striking, it went right back to chewing. Mom put a radio right next to the wall and turned up the volume (音量), but the squirrel went right on      46      . All the shout and noise we made didn’t stop that squirrel.      47      , the squirrel stopped chewing,       48      not until it had opened up a big hole in the wood Carl had just       49    .

        I went outside, shone a flashlight up at the roof and watched the squirrel squeeze into (挤进) the      50        and come out with something in its mouth. It climbed down the side of the house, disappearing up a tree. In a few minutes, it       51      and disappeared into the hole again, then reappeared holding something in its mouth.

        I ran inside and announced, “Guess what! The squirrel has babies in there!”

        We all      52      and watched the squirrel climb down the side of the house carrying another baby to       53      . “And to think we were angry at the squirrel for       54       Carl’s nice work,” said Mom, squeezing me and my sister. “Of course it had to      55      her babies. I understand just how it feels.”
