A very little boy was spending his Saturday morning playing in his sandbox. He had with him a plastic pail (桶) and a shiny, red plastic shovel (铲). In the   36 of creating roads and tunnels in the sand, he   37  a large rock in the middle of the sandbox.
The boy dug around the rock,   38 to move it off the dirt. At first, he wanted to carry it out of the sandbox with his hands; however, it was too heavy. Later, with much   39 , he pushed the rock across the sandbox by   40 his hands. When the boy got the rock to the   41 of the sandbox, he found that he couldn’t roll it up and   42 the little wall.   43 , the little boy pushed, but every time he thought he had made some   44 , the rock tipped (翻滚) and then fell back into the sandbox.
