　It was autumn. A thin white moon rose over the valley. Peter, 11 years old, did not see it. He did not feel the cool wind __1__ his face, for his thoughts _2___ on a red and black blanket on the table, which was a _3___ from his father to his grandfather. They said that Grandpa was going away.

　Peter had _4__ believed Father would send Grandpa away. But now, there was the thing Father bought _5__ every morning. And this was the last _6__ he and Grandpa would have with each other. After washing the __7_ dishes, the old man took up the blanket. “What a __8_ double blanket! And I will not feel cold with it.” Said the man, smoothing it _9__ his knees.

　 “Oh, yes!” Peter said and tried to _10__ back the tears in his eyes.

　 Just then __11_ came two people. Father and the girl he was to __12_ . The girl went up to Grandpa and said patiently. “I will not be _13 __ you in the morning, so I came over to see goodbye.”

　 “It’s nice of you.” Said Grandpa. “Will you look at this? Isn’t it a fine blanket my _14__ has given me to go away with?”

　 “Yes, really,” she said. She felt it and said _15__ . “ A double one! It must have _16_ much. He doesn’t need a double one.”

　 “She is _17__. Father,” the boy said. Here! Father.” He held out a pair of scissors. “ Cut the blanket into _18__ . A single one is enough for an old man. We’ll _19__ the other half.”

　 “ What do you mean by that?” asked Father.

　 “ I Will give it to _20__ when you are old and I’m sending you away.” Said the boy slowly.
