16.On a snowy and cold morning,near Oxford Maryland,a friend of mine was about to set the breakfast table when she leaned forward and peered close to the frosted window.She saw a large Canada goose,very(21)still,its wings folded tight to its sides,its feet frozen to the(212)iceon the Tred Avon River.
Then from the dark skies,she saw a line of swans moving steadily and gracefully to the(23)east.Suddenly the leader swung to the right,then the white line became a white circle and(24)floatedfrom the top of the sky downward,and finally(25)landedon the ice.As the swans surrounded the(26)frozengoose,she feared the poor goose might lose its(27)lifequickly.
Instead,amazingly instead,those swans began to woke(用利喙啄) on the ice.The long(28)neckswere lifted and curved down,again and again; it went on for a long time.At last,the goose's head(29)lifted.Its body pulled.Then the goose was(30)free.Following the31leader,the swans rose again.As the goose was(33)movingits big feet slowly,the swans stood in the air watching.(33)Then,as if it had cried,"I cannot fly,"four of the swans came down (34)aroundit.Their powerful beaks scraped the goose's wings from top to bottom,scuttled under its wings and(35)rode upits body,chipping off the ice held in the feathers.(36)Whenat last the wings were able to spread and reach their fullest,the four swans(37)tookoff and joined their group,going on with their eastward journey.Behind them,rising with incredible speed and(38)thanks,the goose moved into the(39)skyand joined the elegant line.
My friend watched them until they(40)disappeared.Only then did she realize that tears were running down her cheeks.She said to herself:"If so for birds,why not for man?"
