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 protest, 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 her for treating me like this for she was such a (an) 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.”
