Oh God! I think I was about seven when my sisters and I pulled this stupid stunt（惊险动作）.
I remember we were watching TV when we heard my 36 , Chris, yelling from the backyard. We all 37 out to see what happened. 38____ we finally located him, he was in a tree 39 ____ from the highest tree branch. Crying, he explained he had climbed up the tree and couldn’t get down. One of us should climb up but we couldn’t 40 to get him moving down.
Luckily, my youngest sister, Ka, five then, had seen a(n) 41 situation. She suggested we grab a 42___, hold it under the branch, and tell him to 43____ so we could catch him. My other sister, Yams, one year younger than me, looked at me eagerly to 44 her idea and I said “Yeah, let’s try that.”
Immediately we 45 a sheet and held it beneath the tree. Now mind you, the ages holding this blanket were 46 from seven to five, thus the sheet was probably being held up to our waist and also close to touching the ground. But we were 47 it could work.
Chris, my brother, aged four, looked down at us with hesitation, asking in a 48____ voice, “Are you sure I’ll land on the blanket?” But because of a problem at 49 with his tongue being a bit attached to the mouth, it came out like this, “Ah you sho awill lan on da blanked?” “Yup!” I told him, “We’re sure!” and he let go.
How 50 he was to trust us! And no matter how 51 we held, Chris fell right 52 that sheet and landed on his stomach. This tiny seventy-pound boy had made a big 53 right in the sheet!
Because he wasn’t moving, we bent down to 54 if he was still alive. Slowly, he uttered these five words, “Ah stee hi da flow!”, in other words, “I still hit the floor!” Poor little man!
Now Chris is fourteen and he still blames us about it. Any tree he climbs he can get down on his own and, 55 , he wants to be a fireman when he grows up.
