Question

I had been waiting for weeks   35   the water was frozen solid. Mom had one rule: “Never ice-skate alone.” But I couldn’t   36   any longer that afternoon. So I   37   my skates under my coat and ran to the pond. Several people were skating near the shore, and some kids were playing hockey. I was not really  38  .

The hockey game had attracted   39   audience, so I skated in the other direction until their cheering   40  . But another noise came soon. The ice was cracking beneath me. Freezing water   41   my body, and I sank like a rock.  My feet   42   the bottom. Just when I thought I wouldn’t last another   43  , I felt a tap on my shoulder. “Don’t worry,” someone said. I swung my   44   around. I couldn’t see anybody. But I heard the voice again，“Push your feet into the bottom and you’ll shoot straight up to the surface.” I did as I was told and   45  . I crawled to the shore and lay down,   46  . The next thing I knew was people were   47   around me, covering me with coats.

When I awoke, I was home in my own bed. Mom sat next to me,   48   my hand. “I saw nobody there. It must be an angel that came to my  49  .” I said. Mom smiled, “I just thank God you’re safe.”
