One day, four lawyers were riding along a country road. There had been a(n) 1, and the ground was soft. The lawyers rode 2, talking and laughing. As they were passing through a 3, they heard some noises in the grass.
“What’s the matter here?” asked one man.
“Oh, it’s only some old robins (知更鸟)!” said another one, “The 4 has blown them out of the nest. They are too young to 5.”
“What a 6! They’ll die,” said the third one.
“Well! They’re nothing but 7,” said the first lawyer.
The three men looked down and saw the mother robin 8 to her mates. Then they rode on, talking and laughing as before. In a few minutes they had 9 the birds. But the fourth lawyer, whose name was Abraham Lincoln, 10. He got down from his 11 and gently took the little ones up. They didn’t seem 12, but chirped (唧唧叫) softly, as if they knew they were safe.
“Never 13, my little fellows,” said Mr. Lincoln. Then he looked up to find the nest from which they had 14. It was much higher than he could reach. But Mr. Lincoln could 15. He put the birds softly, one by one, into their warm home.
In a few minutes, Mr. Lincoln 16 the others. He had torn his coat on the thorny (多刺的) tree. Then all three of them 17 heartily. They thought it so 18 that a strong man should take so much trouble just for some worthless young birds.

Abraham Lincoln afterwards became President of America.

Check your e-mail the week leading up to your birthday. All the e-clubs that you signed up for will be sending their invitations.
Read the fine print on all the offers before deciding where to eat on your birthday. Some are only on the exact date. 74 There may be other requirements, like free dessert when you buy an entree (主菜).
