Question

A gift left to her
Early in the morning, I was taken in a nylon bag into a truck. I felt horrible as well as 1What would she do with me? She was almost mad after the2of her husband.
A few minutes later, I heard the truck3its engine and move fast. I kept making sounds to show my protest, but failed to make any4 Finally she put me down in a5place. Maybe she didn’t want me to die from lack of air; she untied the bag.
I 6 out and looked up, only to see many strange faces and fingers pointing at me.
It turned out that my owner meant to7 me. I saw my owner on the truck, which was going farther and farther. So I cast my head 8the direction of the truck. The days we spent together was like a movie playing in front of my eyes as I ran after the truck. I saw my male owner, who suffered liver cancer; look at me with his sad eyes. I saw myself9my owner everywhere; I saw him lie in his dying bed, she all10.
I ran as fast as I could. And the11I saw her wave to me, my eyes became wet. I wouldn’t blame her for treating me like this for she was such a (n) 12 lady. She seemed even somewhat13 at his leaving her alone, trying many ways to 14the pains of losing him. She 15 his pictures and clothes, and she redecorated the whole house. Now I was the only16 thing to remind her of him. 17 later, I am pretty sure that she would realize how mad she was to do this…
The truck finally stopped when I was almost 18. She ran up to me and hugged me 19. I heard her20: “I know you are a present he left to me.”
