A farmer had a donkey and a dog. Both the donkey and the dog {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (help) their master in many ways. One night, two thieves broke in the farmer's {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. The dog heard them and started barking. The farmer got {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and so did the neighbors. So they caught the two thieves.

    The farmer said, "I'm glad I had this dog." The neighbors also thought so.

    From that day, the donkey decided to show his master that he could also be {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (use) just like the dog.

    One night, the thieves again entered the farmer's house. As the thieves looked in, they saw the dog {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (sit) just outside the main door. "It seems the dog is quite watchful," said one thief.

    "We {#blank#}6{#/blank#} better go at once," the other thief said and then the two thieves went away. But unknown to the thieves, the donkey was watching all this. He thought, "It is a good chance for me to show {#blank#}7{#/blank#} master that I can be useful. The thieves have run away. If I start {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (shout), the master will thank me." So the donkey started braying(驴叫) {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (loud).

    When the farmer heard the donkey, he {#blank#}10{#/blank#} angry. He came out with a stick and hit the donkey hard. "This will teach you not to bray at night," he thought.
