A boy walked along Carver Street, singing a sad song. He walked with his head down. Once he looked up and noticed the sign across the empty street, painted on the side of an old house. On the sign a big woman with yellow hair and a five-mile smile held out a big bottle. “Coca-Cola. Drink-Cola-Cola,” the sign said.

　　“Boy!” the silence was cut by a sudden cry. He turned around quickly to see who had called.

　　“I want my silver ring to   10to my daughter.”

　　Joseph bent his small body over the table and   11the pencil slowly across the paper.

　　“There’s my Bible（圣经）,” the old woman said. “That’s for my daughter, too. I want a   12Christian burial（基督葬礼）with lots of singing. Write that down, too. That’s the last   13of a poor old woman.”

　　The boy laboured over the paper. Again he looked out of the window.

　　“Here. Bring it here so I can   14it.”

　　Joseph found the Bible, and,   15the paper inside, laid it next to the bed.
