    A second match was lighted．She saw a table （39）　　delicious food．The roast goose stood at one end，with knife and folk in her breast，jumped down from the dishes，and came to the poor child．The match was burnt out and only the thick，（40）　　wall was beside her．

    She struck （41）　　match，this time，her gentle and loving grandmother came up，bright and happy as she had never looked during her lifetime．

"Grandma!"（42）　　the child，"Oh，take me with you!I know that you will leave me （43）　__　the match goes out．"And she lighted all the matches hurriedly；she would like （44）　__　her old grandmother disappearing．Her kind，old and beautiful grandmother took the little girl in her arms，and they both flew high together，until they were in that place where neither cold，nor hunger，nor （45）　　is ever known．

She looked at me in surprise， reaching out her hands to get hold of mine． I looked up into her eyes． She smiled at me． "Thanks．"

A man got a new car and he was very proud of it．One day，when he came back home，he saw his three﹣year﹣old son happily hitting the new car with a toy（41）　　．He broke off the paint on the car．The man was so（42）　　that he ran to his son，took away his hammer（锤子） from him，and used

the hammer to hit the boy's（43）　　as hard as he could for punishment．The poor boy cried（44）　　but his father didn't care at all．

When the father calmed down，he took his son to the（45）　　as soon as he could．Although the

doctor tried to save the broken bones，he had to （46）　　the fingers from both of the boy's hands

As a kid， I used to spend my summers with my grandparents on their farm in Texas． I helped them with farming at times． Luckily， they （16）　　 a caravan， a kind of car designed for people to live in while travelling． Every few summers， we'd travel together around the US and Canada．
