A little boy was visiting his grandparents
on their farm. He was given a slingshot(彈弓)to 21 in the woods. He practiced and practiced
but could never 22 the target. Becoming somewhat 23 ,
he headed back for dinner.
As he was returning, he saw Grandma’s 24 duck.
Without thinking, he shot his slingshot, hit the duck right 25 the
head and killed it. He was shocked and sad. Quickly, he 26 the
dead duck in the wood pile, only to see his 27 watching.
Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.
After 28 that day,
Grandma said, “Sally, you wash the dishes.” But Sally said, “Grandma, Johnny
told me that he wanted to 29 in the kitchen today, didn't
you, Johnny?” And then she 30 to him, “Remember, the duck?”
Then Johnny did the dishes.
Later, Grandpa asked if the children wanted
to __31__ fishing, and Grandma said, “I’m sorry but I __32__
Sally to help me make supper.” But Sally smiled and said, “Well, that’s all
right. Johnny told me he wanted to __33__.” And she whispered again, “Remember,
the 34 ?” So Sally went fishing and Johnny 35 at
home.
After several days, Johnny finally couldn't
36 it any longer. He went to Grandma and 37 that
he had killed her pet duck and asked for her 38 .
Hearing this, Grandma knelt down, gave him
a hug, and said, “Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the 39 and
saw the whole thing from the house. And because I 40 you,
I forgive you, but I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make you
her slave.”
