Little Tom down the street calls our dog the "keep dog". Zip is a sheep dog. But when Tom tries to say "sheep", it comes out "keep". And in a way(从某个方面) Tom is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

    Zip is always bringing things home for us to keep! I'll {#blank#}2{#/blank#} you about some of them. Zip's first present was a shoe. It was made of green silk. We didn't know {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Zip found the shoe. But after a moment, Mary, my big sister, told me the shoe had a strange {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. I nodded(点头) and held my nose. "What do you think it is?"

    "It smells like something for cleaning. I think someone tried to clean a spot(污点) off the shoe. Then he put it at the 4{#blank#}5{#/blank#} to dry. We can't keep it."

    "Maybe little Tom is right," Mary said. "Maybe Zip is a keep dog!"

    But if you talk with someone like your mom or dad, you will always start to feel better. Now you're not all {#blank#}1{#/blank#} with your problems or worries. Your mom and dad want to know if you have problems because they love you. What if a kid doesn't want to talk with mom or dad? They find {#blank#}2{#/blank#} trustworthy(值得信赖的)adult, like a relative or a counselor(顾问)at school.

    lf you think you'll have {#blank#}3{#/blank#} saying what's on your mind, write it down on a piece of paper. A kid doesn't have to share every feeling he has, but it is important to share feelings when he needs help. You don't have to solve every problem {#blank#}4{#/blank#} .

    Sometimes you need help. Talking with someone about your feelings can be the first step.
