The following is a true story．It happened in the north of Australia, where many animals live in the forest．
Lisa, a 33-year-old woman was 1 lunch in the kitchen while her three-year-old son, Berney, was playing alone in the backyard．
Suddenly, a cry of Berney came into the mother’s ears, and Lisa 2 into the backyard and found a big 3 snake trying to eat the boy as its delicious dish!Liza was 4 and quite angry．She made up her mind to 5 her son from the snake’s mouth．Liza forgot 6 she faced and picked up an old hoe(锄头) 7 the ground and hit the snake hard．
One…two…with the hoe, Liza hit the snake again and again．The little boy’s 8 and breath were getting weaker and 9 ．Liza’s heart was broken and she got 10 mad．Then Liza put aside the hoe and threw herself to the snake, opened her mouth and bit into its back．
By and by a small piece of snake was bit off．Liza 11 up the hoe again and hit wound hard．The snake was so badly hurt 12 it left the boy and moved back into 13 quickly．It had 14 imagined how human beings had such strong 15 !Half way home, the big snake died．
It was the mother’s love that saved the little boy．
When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor, Dr．Gibbs．He didn’t look like any 1 I 2 ．He never invited us to play in his yard, but he was a very 3 person．
When Dr．Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees．He owned a large field and wanted to make it a forest．
The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees．He never watered his new trees．Once I asked why．He said that watering plants spoiled them, and that if you 4 them, each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and 5 the weaker trees early．
He talked about how watered trees grew shallow(浅的)roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of water 6 the earth by themselves． 7 roots were very important．
So he never watered his trees．He'd planted an oak and, 8 watering it every morning, he'd beat it with a rolled-up newspaper．I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention．
Dr．Gibbs died several years 9 I left home．Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees 10 I watched him 11 about twenty-five years ago．They’re very big and strong now．I planted some trees a few years later and carried water to them for a whole summer．After two years of 12 too much, whenever a cold wind blows in, they 13 a lot．
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons．Mostly I pray(祈祷)that their lives will be easy．But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer．I know my children are going to face difficulties．There's always a cold wind 14 somewhere, so 15 we need to do is to pray for roots that reach deep into the brave heart, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we can face it strongly and won't be beaten down．
