George lived with his sick mother in a poor village. One bright sunny _________ in July, he went early to the forest two miles away. He was asked to __________ some wood. After working hard for half a day, he looked around for a cool place to rest and eat his lunch. Suddenly some fine red wild strawberries caught his eye.

“How good these will be with my bread and butter!” George thought. He at once began to _______all the strawberries he could find, then sat down by the river, ready to enjoy them.

Just then as he was lifting the __________ strawberry to his mouth, he thought of his mother.

“Shall I _________ them for her?” He imagined how much they would make her happy, yet still looking at them with longing (渴望的) eyes.

“I will eat half, and take the other half to her,” he said. Then he divided the strawberries into two. But he found each half looked too small, so he put them together again.

“I will only taste one.” Then he took the biggest one, but soon put it back. Finally, he carefully_________ them with leaves, deciding to keep them all _________ his mother.

When the sun was beginning to go down, George went home. __________ happy he felt that he had all his strawberries for his sick mother! The __________ he came to his home, the less he wished to taste them. As soon as he arrived , he ran to his mother and happily offered his wild strawberries. Tears in eyes, she put her hand on his head and said _________ : “And you kept them for me, did you? God will bless you for all this, my child.”

Could the eating of the strawberries have given George half the happiness he felt at the moment?
