20.As soon as I saw the cat in our yard,I knew he was a stray (流浪儿).He looked (41)C-a wounded warrior with a badly scarred body.
I started putting out food for him each day,but he wouldn't come near me if other people were (42)A.Winter came,and he still wouldn't (43)D us.Then,one day,a car hit him so we took him to the vet's.
After a week,we were eager to bring him home to (44)Bour family.But when we went to take the cat home,the vet told us we should put him to (45)D immediately because the cat was so fierce and mean that he would (46)B become tame,let alone a pet.
But I have always had (47)Cin love's power to (48)Deven the wildest beasts.I told the vet,"I want to take him home."We (49)Ahim Paws.
Three days went by,and we only knew Paws was (50)C the bed because when we walked past it we heard deep growling.
I wanted to somehow let him know he was (51)Dand loved.So I put on a hard hat and a pair of welding gloves.I (52)Bunder the bed toward Paws,with my face to the (53)Cand only the top of my head facing him.I (54)D out to stroke (抚摩) him gently over and over again.
He growled and tried to (55)Band bite me.It was scary-but I knew he couldn't (56)Ame,so I just kept going.Slowly,he began to(57)D.Then I slid out from under the bed and left the room.
Several hours later,I noticed a cat on the bed.It was Paws-all (58)C on the pillows!I couldn't believe it.
That dear cat became the (59)B of our household.Although Paws finally died of cancer,his legacy(遗赠)--my (60)D and firm belief in the power of love--lives on.
