**A Miracle (奇迹) of Tears

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were  21  . The rivers were long gone back into the  22  . If we didn’t see some rain soon, we would lose everything. It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and witnessed (目击) the only miracle I had seen with my own eyes.

I was in the kitchen making lunch when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. Minutes after he disappeared  23  the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.

I went back to making sandwiches, thinking that what he had been doing was completed. Moments later,  24 , he was once again toward the woods. This  25   went on for an hour-walked  26   to the woods, and ran back to the house.

  27   I couldn’t take it any longer, so I went out of the house quietly and  28   him on his journey.

As I leaned in (屈身) to spy on him. I saw the most   29  sight. Several large deer were is front of him. Billy walked right up to them. And I saw a tiny young deer lying on the ground obviously suffering from dehydration(脱水) and heat exhaustion. Lifting its head with  30  effort to drink up the water in my beautiful boy’s  31  .

When the water was  32  , Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to a tap that we had shut off. Billy opened it all the way up and a small trickle(细流)began to creep out. When he stood up and began to  33  , I was there in front of him. His little eyes were just filled with tears.

“I’m not   34  ,”was all he said.

As the tears that rolled down his face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops…more drops…and more.

All I can say is that the rain that came that day saved our farm, just like one little boy saved deer.
