Sometimes you can’t believe what is happening before your eyes.  With all her big brothers and sisters off to school, our four-year-old daughter, Becky, felt   36  at home.  Cattle and horses were too big for her to   37  with.  Oh, my poor daughter.

One day I had just finished washing the lunch dishes when Becky rushed in with   38   .  “Mama!” she cried, “Come to see my new dog! I gave him water two times already.  He’s so thirsty. ”

I   39  , another of Becky’s imaginary  40  .

“Please come, Mama. ” She pulled  41  my jeans, her brown eyes pleading（肯求）.  “He’s crying―and he can’t walk!” “Can’t walk?” I could   42   it must be a certain animal this time.  “All right, honey,” I said.  By the time I tried to   43   her, Becky had already disappeared into the   44  .  “Where are you?” I called.  “Over here by the oak stump（橡木桩）.  Hurry , Mama!” I   45  the branches and raised my hand   46  the glare of the sun.  To my   47  , she was touching an unmistakable head of a wolf!

“Becky,” My mouth felt dry.  “Don’t move. ” I   48   closer.  Yes, it was a big wolf which was badly hurt.  Suddenly the wolf   49  .  “It’s all right, boy. ” Becky   50   it.  “Don’t be afraid.  That’s my Mama, and she loves you, too. ” Then the unbelievable thing happened.  As her tiny hands 51   the great shaking head, I found the wolf   52   down and waved his tail gently.  “Honey,” my   53   tightened.  “Put his   54   down and come to Mama.  We’ll go and find help. ”

Becky got up and kissed the wolf on the nose before she walked slowly into my arms.  With Becky  55  in my arms, I ran home quickly.  I can’t understand why my little girl could get along well with the wolf, but I always think if only all of us could get on well with other animals, like my slaughter and the wolf.
