After six days of spring rain, a (run) river appeared near Nancy Brown's farm. When she tried to get her cows to a  (high) ground, she fell down and hit her head on a fallen tree. Then she fainted(昏倒) in the river for a few minutes. When she woke, Lizzie, one of  (she) oldest and favourite cows, was licking(舔) her head. The water was rising. Nancy got up and began walking  (slow) with Lizzie. The water was now getting higher and higher. It was hard  Nancy to move her feet. Finally, all she could do was throw her arms around  (Lizzie) neck. About 20 minutes later, Lizzie successfully pulled Nancy out of the running water and onto a small island in the middle of the river.

    Even though it was about noon, the rain was so heavy that it took people two  (hour) to find Nancy. Soon she was taken to a hospital.

    When the flood left two days later, Nancy went back to the island at once. She  (find) that Lizzie was gone. She was one of the nineteen cows that Nancy had lost. "She saved my life but lost hers," said Nancy tears.
