¡¡¡°Just a couple of hours, ¡± said Dad, ¡°and we¡¯ll be at our campsite !¡± The year was 1950 and we were on our family¡¡ 21¡¡ ,doing what we usually did together- camping. I ¡¡22¡¡ in my corner of the back seat to take a nap. The rhythm of the ¡¡23¡¡ car soothed(ºå) me into a ¡¡24¡¡ sleep.
Wham ! I ¡¡25¡¡ with a start, my face on the floorboard of the back seat. Dad had ¡¡26¡¡ the car suddenly. ¡° What happened ? ¡± I asked. ¡°Where are we ?¡± ¡° Half an hour from our ¡¡27 ¡¡,¡± he answered, ¡°and I don't know what the problem is,¡¡ 28 ¡¡all the cars have stopped . I¡¯ll go to see what¡¯s going on.¡± Dad ¡¡29¡¡ out of the car. Mom, my little brother David and I 30 ¡¡. ¡° I bet there has been an accident !¡± David was excited. Mom ¡¡31¡¡ her head. She said, ¡° There is ¡¡¡¡32 ¡¡a bear crossing the road.¡± David bounced up and down in his ¡¡33¡¡ . That was even better than a(n) ¡¡34¡¡ !
Dad came running back to the car. ¡° Come on !¡± he said very ¡¡35¡¡ . ¡°Come on, kids ! You¡¯ve got to see this!¡± I jumped out of the car and ran to catch up with him. ¡°What is it, Daddy?¡± I asked. He smiled and 36 ¡¡my hand. ¡°Come and see, Carolyn,¡± he said. I knew that, ¡¡37¡¡ it was, it was good, because my father was 38 ¡¡about it . I grabbed his hand and skipped excitedly along beside him. We walked past a dozen parked cars. ¡¡39¡¡ ,a group of people stood talking and laughing.
Looking in the same direction as everyone else, we saw a mother duck, sleek and proud, walking up the middle of the road, nine little ducklings waddling ¡¡40 ¡¡her. The babies were marching single file behind their mother, totally ignoring the people and the automobiles.
