    A few minutes after he disappeared into the   58  , he came running toward the house again. I went back to making sandwiches,   59   that whatever task he had been doing was completed. Moments later,  60  , he was once again walking slowly toward the woods.

      61  curiosity, I walked out and followed him on his journey. He was  62   both hands in front of him as he walked, being  63   not to spill the water he held in them. I secretly walked   64   behind him as he went into the woods and I saw the most amazing  65  .

    Several large deer loomed in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. I almost  66   at him to get away. A huge male deer with elaborate(精美的)antlers was   67   close. But they didn’t even move as Billy   68  . And I saw a small deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from   69  and extreme heat, lift its head  70   to drink the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hands.

    It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of  71  . You know, we hadn’t had any rain for three months and our crops were   72 . As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly   73   by other drops. I looked up at the sky. It was  74   God was moved to weep. The rain came that day and saved our farm, just like the  75  of one little boy who saved another.

Toyota Motor Corp, Japan’s biggest carmaker, said on Friday it will recall 1,489 Lexus sedans (高级轿车) sold in China. "It will take us some time to ship the fuel tanks and vent pipes to China to change those in these Lexus sedans for customers free of charge, if problems are found," said Yang Hongjian, a spokes- woman of Toyota’s China representative office.

The expected recall will affect Lexus LS430 sedans made in Japan from July 29, 2003 to January 14, 2004, the repre??sentative office said in a statement.

Lexus sales on the mainland reached 4,000 units last year, up from 1,600 units in 2002. (China Daily July 3, 2004)
