I was in the kitchen making lunch when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. I could only see his back. He 1 to be walking with a great effort, trying to be as 2 as possible.
A few minutes after he disappeared into the 3 , he came running toward the house again. I went back to making sandwiches, 4 that whatever task he had been doing was completed. Moments later, 5 , he was once again walking slowly toward the woods.
6 curiosity, I walked out and followed him on his journey. He was 7 both hands in front of him as he walked, being 8 not to spill the water he held in them. I secretly walked 9 behind him as he went into the woods and I saw the most amazing 10 .
Several large deer loomed in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. I almost 11 at him to get away. A huge male deer with elaborate(精美的)antlers was 12 close. But they didn’t even move as Billy 13 . And I saw a small deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from 14 and extreme heat, lift its head 15 to drink the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hands.
It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of 16 . You know, we hadn’t had any rain for three months and our crops were 17 . As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly 18 by other drops. I looked up at the sky. It was 19 God was moved to weep. The rain came that day and saved our farm, just like the 20 of one little boy who saved another.
